Taipei, Dec. 24 (CNA) The Presidential Office requested the Cabinet Saturday to hold accountable a

senior high school in northern Taiwan after its students wore Nazi uniforms and displayed swastika symbols at the school’s anniversary a day earlier.

Students from a class of the Hsinchu Kuang-Fu High School donned Nazi uniforms, wielded swastika flags and displayed German Tiger tanks made of paper cartons at a cosplay event.

“The responsibility of the education authorities is to teach students that peace and the values of a pluralistic society are not easily won, and free thinking must be built on justice and respect, not to leave them free to make improper words and deeds,” it said.

“The incident has shown that the need for education in transitional justice is urgent,” it said.

The Presidential Office asked the executive branch to make sure that the school reviews the incident, learns and strengthens related education, and apologizes to the countries persecuted by the Nazis.   [FULL  STORY]
