The school claimed that the behavior violated the policy of political denial

The principal summoned the teacher and accused him of violating Talk about politics, do not bring politics into the school."

Ye Jianyuan approved the school's handling of minor incidents and major doubts that violated the "Code"

Ye Jianyuan, vice president of the Education Association, believes that if the report is true, teachers will buy newspapers for other teachers without teaching or affecting students. If the school accuses him of "bad motives" or even suspends class, it is really absurd.

Ye Jianyuan believes that the school’s practice is suspected of turning a small matter into a big one. The teacher’s buying of newspapers is a normal matter on the line and even punished. This raises doubts that the school has not handled complaints against colleagues in accordance with the principle of fairness. The practice also involves violation of the "Hong Kong Education "Professional Code", "colleagues should be regarded as professional workers, and should not be discriminated against on the basis of status, function, gender, race, color, nationality, belief, religion or political opinion." He urged the school to stop targeting the teacher so as not to affect the staff Mutual trust with the school and the public's trust in the school.
