【新唐人2011年10月20日讯】陕西西安一家小学要求学习差的学生得戴上“绿领巾”，上学放学不能摘下，这种贴标签的做法不仅令孩子和家长感到尴尬，也被网友炮轰为歧视，是中国教育制度的悲剧。
10月17号中午，随着下课铃响起，西安未央区第一实验小学门口涌出了排队回家的学生们。一些孩子胸前的绿领巾在人群中显得格外扎眼。一名一年级学生表示，调皮、学习不好的学生就得戴绿领巾，老师要求上学、放学都不能解开，不然就在班上点名批评。
据国内媒体报导，家长也对绿领巾表示不理解，学校没有征求过家长同意，也没有向上级部门汇报过。校方在10月14号将带有“差生”含义的绿领巾发给学生，老师说，设计绿领巾是想对孩子加强教育培养，激励他们加油。不过学校九十多名一年级学生中，约有一半人都佩戴绿领巾。
“绿领巾”事件一经报导，立即引发网友炮轰。“您同意给差生戴绿领巾吗？” 这个腾讯微博里的热点话题，截至18号下午6点15分，有98.09%的网友投票“不同意，会伤害孩子自尊心”。
前山东大学教授孙文广：“你给他戴上绿领巾，大家都来嘲笑他，这对他的人格是一个侮辱吧，另外对他的心灵也是一个摧残了。小小的孩子，你不要去打压他。现在打压存积的太多了，现在还把这种手段用在小孩子身上，这个简直是很荒唐的。”
许多教育专家也认为，教育中的激励，应该是建立在权益平等基础上的合理竞争，让每个孩子从中能够感受到平等、尊重与快乐。给差生戴上特殊标志的做法，不仅不会起到激励作用，反而会为学生制造社交障碍，更是一种人格侮辱。
六四天网创办人黄琦录音：“实际上在中国大陆，对于那种所谓不听话的群体进行体罚，加上一些带有侮辱性的标志，这种情况由来已久。以前的人就是称为’地富反坏右’，有些时候还要带一个胸牌，穿一些特殊颜色的衣服。这种文化一直延续到今天。”
香港《苹果日报》19号引述内地学者的话说，西安小学的绿领巾事件与佛山小悦悦被车辗冷血事件一样，都是中国浮躁、功利的社会环境，以及社会道德严重缺失的经典表现。
六四天网创办人黄琦：“当今中国一系列的道德沦丧，这种情况的发生，我想和这类的教育是有很大关系的。正是由于在学校里面对孩子的体罚，包括对访民的孩子都有特殊的一些手段，甚至有些孩子还被关押在非法的一些场所里面，关押几十天。学校的这种教育，会教育出什么样的下一代，我们也可想而知。”
在家长和网民的一片反对声浪中，区教育主管部门不得不出面叫停了“绿领巾”活动，目前所有绿领巾已经被收回。

The Green Scarf School Program
Anchor:
An elementary school in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province required
all students who performed poorly to wear a green scarf, which they could not take off during school or at home.
This requirement not only makes children and parents
feel embarrassed, but also netizans criticized this tactic,
labeling it discrimination and calling it a tragedy
of the Chinese education system.
Reporter:
At noon on October 17, when the school bell rang,
students walked out of the school gate
at the No.1 Experimental Primary School in
Xi’an Weiyang District, then lined up to go home.
The children with green scarfs stood out among the crowd.
A first-year student said, “Naughty and bad students have to
wear green scarves."
The teacher told them not to take the scarves off at school
or at home, or else they would be criticized in class.
According to Chinese media reports, parents said
they did not understand the purpose behind the green scarves,
as the school had not previously sought parental consent
or reported the issue to higher authorities.
On October 14, students who performed poorly were given
green scarfs.
A teacher said, the purpose of the green scarves is to
strengthen and improve the quality of a child’s education
and training, encouraging them to be more diligent.
But more than a half of the students wore green scarfs
among 90 first-year students.
Once the Green Scarf incident was reported, it was criticized online.
A Tencent microblogging article titled, “Do you agree
that poor performing students should wear green scarves?"
became a hot topic as of 6:15 p.m. on the October 18,
with 98.09% of users voting: “no, it will hurt a child’s self-esteem."
Sun Wenguang, a former professor at Shandong University:
“You force him to wear a green scarf, everyone will laugh at him, which is a personal insult, which will cause him mental torment.
Don’t do this to young kids, please do not suppress them!
There’s too much suppression now, please do not use green scarves
to suppress kids; it’s simply absurd."
Many education experts also believe that education incentives
should be reasonably competitive, and based on interests of an equal basis, so each child can be happy and equally, respected.
To wear a special sign to broadcast a student’s poor performance,
will create social barriers for these students; it is a personal insult.
Huang Qi, founder of SkyNet of 6•4 said:
“It is a longstanding practice in China to inflict corporal punishment
on groups of people who do not obey the Party, forcing them to wear some kind of insulting sign draped on their body.
There were people who were referred to as ‘landlords, rich peasants,
counter revolutionaries, bad guys, and rightists’ before, and wore a placard, or special colored clothes.
This culture has continued up until today."
Hong Kong Apple Daily was quoted as saying,
“Mainland scholars contend that the Green Scarf incident
on October 19, at the Xi’an elementary school,
and the death of a young child in Foshan City, who was crushed
by a car, were due to the impetuous nature of Chinese
living in a utilitarian society which seriously lacks social morality."
Huang Qi: “The series of moral bankruptcy issues we’re seeing
in China today, are closely related to this kind of education.
It is precisely due to children being subjected to corporal punishment
in school, children of petitioners being treated differently than other students, with some children even being illegally detained for dozens of days.
How will this form of education affect our next generation?
We can only imagine."
After hearing parents and netizens complain, district education
authorities were forced to halt the ‘Green Scarf’ campaign, taking back all green scarfs that were in circulation.
