“County officials responded to the incident by conducting a series of intensive lectures targeting educators and local residents. The lectures were titled: ‘Let’s stay on high alert to unequivocally reject the influx of the imperialists’ impure elements and enemy propaganda.’”
According to the source, the lecturers claimed that “the devious imperialists are jealous that we [North Koreans] are living a better life because we hold our socialist values high, so they are ruthlessly trying to use their punk capitalist media to manipulate our impressionable youths because they are still growing up,” and emphasized that the people must be alert to the influx of outside culture into the country.
The authorities also gave attendees a strong warning during the lectures. “Don’t expect that students who are not yet adults will receive a lighter punishment,” they reportedly said. “If parents can’t control their children, [the MSS] will send the youths to receive reeducation and expel their families just like in the case of these three students.”
No lessons needed in North Korea about the evils of cultural appropriation.
