Police dispersed dozens of secondary school students who formed a human chain outside their school in Kowloon Tong in the afternoon over action against a music teacher who allowed the protest anthem 'Glory to Hong Kong' to be sung at an exam, RTHK reports. A large group of police officers arrived at the scene an hour after the protest began around 1:30pm, warning the students they are breaking social distancing rules. The school is said to have decided not to renew the teacher’s contract after she allowed students to perform “Glory to Hong Kong” at an examination. The boy also said the teacher announced any student who feel uncomfortable with the song can leave the classroom temporarily. On Thursday, Education Secretary Kevin Yeung said that students should not sing songs that are "political propaganda" like Glory to Hong Kong.
