【新唐人2013年07月15日訊】去年在香港被指為洗腦的國民教育科,在港人的強烈反對下撤回,日前《香港基本法小學生簡易讀本》內容再惹爭議,被認為有明顯的政治傾向。香港民間批評中共和香港親共人士暗渡陳倉,以推介《基本法》為名,行洗腦之實。
據港媒報導,香港部分小學所派發的《香港基本法小學生簡易讀本》,最近遭到大批家長投訴,說書中包含大量灌輸盲目「愛國」的內容,而且有許多地方與基本法無關或不符。「國民教育家長關注組」發出愚民式國民教育死灰復燃的聲音,呼籲學校停止再發放「讀本」,並要求收回已印製的書籍。
《香港基本法小學生簡易讀本》是由「基本法推介聯席會議」所出版,現任香港特首梁振英是這個「基推會」的名譽顧問,梁振英曾大力推行國民教育。此外,《蘋果日報》還爆出,「基推會」名譽主席黃富榮,有可能是1967年策動「六七暴動」的鬥爭委員會學生代表,當時香港親中共的左派,在中共毛澤東發動的「文化大革命」影響下,展開對抗香港政府的暴動。因此,評論人士認為,這是中共與香港親共左派人士相互勾結,對香港開展的新一輪洗腦。
北京社會活動家胡佳:「現在中共使盡了各種方法想去給香港進行洗腦,現在它那種籠統的意識形態的東西往裡塞恐怕有困難,但它又轉換了方法, 它開始拿基本法做文章,它知道香港是一個法制社會,那麼它拿法律做文章就有可能有更高的便利性, 我認為它是把國教的問題變換了一下包裝,又想把它推進香港的教育體系中。」
「香港國民教育家長關注組」對《讀本》當中的「染紅」內容表示震驚,包括諸如「提到國旗、國徽及國歌使我們充滿了作為中國人的自豪」、主權移交時國旗升起「洗雪了香港被侵佔的百年國恥」等情感引導的字句。
《香港基本法小學生簡易讀本》還加入了《基本法》中沒有提及的內容,包括香港市民「應當維護行政長官的權威地位」、行政長官法律地位高於行政、立法及司法機關。
香港律師何俊仁:「他們的教材確實是從黨國的觀念出發,以共產黨的專政為主導的思想來教育。 絕對不應該用這些教材。」
香港城市大學學生陳浩華:「其實我們反對的就是一些我們覺得不合理的地方, 其實它不是一個真正的國民教育,是一個洗腦的國民教育,就是叫我們去盲目的愛國,不去想中國(中共)的不好,那些課程是一面倒說中國(中共)的好,我覺得這是不合理。」
港民指出,雖然「國民教育科」在港人的強烈反對下暫時擱淺,但中共對於香港的洗腦行為從未真正的停止過。
陳浩華:「雖然政府已經沒有搞國民教育,但是其實在平常的生活在搞很多的東西,去想搞國民教育或者一些相關的東西,每年暑假都有很多交流團是去內地的,中央政府給很多錢的那些交流團,其實這些都是國民教育或者是一些洗腦的東西。」
另據報導,中共喉舌《環球時報》涉嫌發表挑動民眾對所謂「不愛國」的港人「不要客氣」。
陳浩華:「他們說的愛國其實不是愛國,他們說的愛國其實是愛黨,你要聽從黨的吩咐,你不聽從就是不愛國,但是我不認同。 如果一個國家發展好的話,是真的愛人民的話,我們學生、人民其實不用你那麼多的國民教育也會愛國。」
民調也顯示,香港主權移交十六年以來,港人對中國人身份的認同並未上升,反呈下降趨勢。評論人士指出,當局應該反省為甚麼當下的年輕人沒有以政府希望的方式去愛國,而不應該去想盡各種辦法給年輕人洗腦。

Hong Kongers: No More Brainwashing Education and Against Blind Patriotism
Last year, proposals for"brainwashing program"
in Hong Kong national education curriculums
were suspended under strong protest
by Hong Kong citizens.
Recently, an elementary school book titled “Primary
Student Handbook of the Basic Law of Hong Kong”
is again sparking the same controversy.
Some say the textbook clearly attempts to deliver
political messages.
Hong Kong citizens criticized the Chinese Communist Party
(CCP) and its local followers for indoctrinating children
in the name of teaching Basic Law.
Hong Kong media reports say that the"Primary Student
Handbook of the Basic Law of Hong Kong” distributed
to some schools recently,
has received much criticism from parents.
It was criticized because most of it’s contents
sought to instill blind patriotism, and
contained things that have no relation to,
or even conflict with, the facts of Basic Law.
A parent advocate group warned that “brainwashing
with patriotic education"had returned.
They called on schools to stop distributing the
new textbook and recalling all printed ones.
The"Primary Student Handbook of the Basic Law of
Hong Kong"was published by the Joint Committee for
the Promotion of The Basic Law of Hong Kong.
Hong Kong’s current Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying,
who has strongly supported “patriotic education",
is an honorary advisor of the committee.
Hong Kong’s Apply Daily newspaper further says that
the committee’s honorary president, Huang Furong,
may have been a student member who took part in
instigating the Leftist Riots in Hong Kong in 1967.
At that time Hong Kong’s pro-communist leftists
were inspired by Mao’s Cultural Revolution.
They initialized large scale demonstrations
against British rule which later turned into a riot.
Commentators say the party is again colluding with
leftists in Hong Kong to start a new round of"brainwashing attacks".
Hu Jia, social activist in Beijing:"Right now the CCP
is trying to brainwash Hong Kong people in many ways.
Since generally introducing its ideology will likely fail,
the party changed its strategy and worked on
the legal education.
It knows that Hong Kong is a constitutional society
so it may be more convenient to do something in this area.
I think the party simply changed the appearance of it’s
so-called ‘patriotic education’ and attempted to add it into Hong Kong’s general education system."
The Hong Kong Parent Advocate Group against Patriotic
Education say they were shocked by the “red contents"of the new textbook.
There are sentences such as,"Whenever we see the national
flag or emblem, and hear the national anthem, our hearts
are filled with a sense of pride for being Chinese."
It also tries to lead children’s emotion saying that when
the CCP’s national flag was raised in the handover ceremony,
“Hong Kong’s century-shame of being occupied
by Britain was removed."
Furthermore, the textbook also includes contents
that are not mentioned in the Basic Law.
For example, it says Hong Kong’s citizens
“should protect the authority of its Chief Executive,"
and “The Chief Executive has a superior legal status
over administrative, legislative, and judicial powers.
He Junren, Hong Kong lawyer:
“This textbook truly is based on the party’s opinions.
It tries to educate the students mostly with
the CCP’s dictatorship ideology.
Therefore they should definitely not be accepted."
Chen Haohua, student at City University of Hong Kong:
“What we really oppose is the parts that are unreasonable.
In essence it’s brainwashing education,
rather than real national education.
It simply tells us to be fanatically patriotic and
not to think about the CCP’s faults.
Those lessons one-sidedly say good words about
the CCP, which departs from reason in my opinion."
Local residents say that although"patriotic education “was
suspended due to strong protest from Hong Kong’s people,
the CCP never really stopped its brainwashing battle
against the former colony.
Chen Haohua:"The government has stopped
its plan of patriotic education,
but it’s doing a lot more things with
a similar intention in our daily life.
For example, every summer we have many
exchange tours to mainland China.
Especially for those who get heavily funded
by the central government,
they are mostly about patriotic lessons
or other brainwashing stuff."
The Global Times, a mouthpiece media of the CCP,
reportedly published an article provoking Chinese people
to “show no mercy" toward"unpatriotic Hong Kongers".
Chen Haohua: “What they call patriotism isn’t real patriotism.
They say ‘love your country’, but they mean ‘love the party.’
You have to obey the party; otherwise you aren’t ‘patriotic’.
I don’t agree with this.
If a country is well-developed and really cares for its people,
our students and civilians will love it,
without need for such patriotic education."
According to a recent poll, during the sixteen years
since the handover,
Hong Kong people show a decreasing trend
of recognizing themselves as Chinese.
Commentators say the authorities should ask themselves
why young people haven’t loved their country the way they want them to,
instead of sparing no efforts in brainwashing them.
