But someone (no matter how many they are) claim they
do not agree with Professional Teachers' Union (PTU) position
now.  And the Prepartory Committee (PC) seems to recognize this
other voice (c.f. fax from PC to PTU) instead of that of Ex-co.

A General Polling (referendum) is the best and most forceful
answer to the question (of how our teachers think).

If possible, I even suggest there should be referendum in
Hong Kong for people to decide on our own future.  However, this
has been ruled out, in the name of sovereignty.

I also oppose the neutral standpoint.  As I said, OBJECTIVE
(which a teacher should always be) is NOT equal to NEUTRAL.
This is the Great Era. In this difficult time, there are
already too many people pointing at a deer and say it is a horse.

After all, education is a holy business and intellecturals have 
a very special role in the society.
