孔子学院は閉校を 米も脅威認定。 同志社・ICUと外国影響の危うさ

最近のニュースでは、米国防総省が中国政府関連の孔子学院を「国家安全保障上の脅威」と指定し、名称を変えて存続していた拠点を解体したと報じられました。日本でも設置数がピーク時の15校から約10校に減り、関西外国語大学などが閉鎖しています。全校、閉鎖するべきではないでしょうか？

一方、キリスト教系の同志社大学では関連高校の研修旅行で政治的中立性違反が指摘され、ICUなども含め外国勢力の教育影響を懸念する声があります。

学生として、透明性を欠く機関は閉校を検討すべきではないかと強く願います。

子供や学生を利用して、一定の洗脳思想教育は止めるべきです。

Confucius Institutes Should Be Closed — the U.S. Also Designates Them a Threat: The Dangers of Foreign Influence at Doshisha, ICU, and Beyond

According to recent news reports, the U.S. Department of Defense has designated Confucius Institutes linked to the Chinese government as a “threat to national security” and dismantled centers that had continued to operate under different names.

In Japan as well, the number of these institutes has fallen from a peak of 15 to around 10, with institutions such as Kansai University of Foreign Studies having already closed theirs. Shouldn’t every single one of them be closed?

Meanwhile, at the Christian-affiliated Doshisha University, a study trip organized by an affiliated high school has been criticized for violating political neutrality. Voices of concern are also being raised about the educational influence of foreign powers, including at ICU and other institutions.

As students, we strongly hope that institutions lacking transparency will be considered for closure.

We must put an end to forms of ideological indoctrination that exploit children and students.
