The Korean Teachers' and Workers Union certainly is on the ball, and has made no effort to hide its agenda. Because the link has hangeul in it I don't seem to be able to embed it, so just copy-and-paste this into your browser: http://news.eduhope.net/news/view.php?board=교육희망-photo&id=282. Anyway, it looks like this class from "ㄱ" Middle School is keeping busy. Not as busy as the students from this Incheon Middle School who made flagrantly anti-Japanese posters at the behest of their teachers, and then displayed them at subway stations around Seoul and Gyeonggi (pictures here and here).
You can browse the union's webpage here and their newspaper here, and they're both good resources whether you're starting your own blog or looking for decorations for your classroom.

The anti-Japan drawings is a bit too racist for me. Isn't this brainwashing??
There is so much hatred... Is this how the education is taught there? I'm shocked by how the students are expressing over a bunch of rocks.
*facepalm*
I take most things over here with a grain of salt, but the nationalism and the brainwashing (but people aren't actually using their brains) is starting to make me sick. An exodus is starting to look more and more appealing.
Seriously disturbing images here. There is no way this student could intelligently defend such a position, as he/she is probably 15 at the oldest. The student is simply regurgitating mindless nonsense taught in classrooms here. I asked my girlfriend (she's Korean) if this "art" is acceptable, and she said there is nothing offensive about it, and furthermore it appeals to mainstream Korean thought. Imagine imagine the consequences had an American student doing something like this in the States...
