Hong Kong Gov't Imposes Heavy Censorships in Latest Revision of Liberal Studies Textbooks
The Education Bureau recently listed and published the changes in the latest revisions of Liberal Studies textbooks.
The section entitled “Present day Hong Kong” has been significantly changed. Apple Daily found out that most of the content related to human rights and social movements have been removed.
A comic strip in the original edition mentioned that the Causeway Bay Bookstore shareholder Paul Lee was kidnapped. However, in the revised version, that part was changed to a quote by the police saying that Lee “volunteered to go to mainland China”.
Overseas social movements such as the Catalan Independence Movement, the Jasmine Revolution in Tunisia, have all been removed. Some teachers challenged the revision, claiming that the edits were made in an attempt to evade controversial topics.
