Teacher pays for allowing protest anthem in exam


A teacher at a Kowloon Tong secondary school did not have her contract renewed by management after she allowed students to play Glory to Hong Kong - the "anthem" of local protesters - in a music exam. This came as education secretary Kevin Yeung Yun-hung gave a big "no" to the singing of the protest song in schools. Yeung said the song "is obviously a political propaganda song" when asked if singing it would be banned in schools. But singing the song Love Basic Law is not "political," just "a way to promote the rule of law," according to Yeung. Opposition activists are planning a referendum Sunday over whether to start strikes and class boycotts to protest the law.
