Anti-Americanism at Korean Universities
In Tearing Up the American Flag, Korea Times Columnist Mike Weisbart describes the anti-American performances at a Korean university student festival. Several years ago, before Iraq and the schoolgirl traffic accident, the theme of the festival of the university I used to work at was "미국 - 미친 나라" (America - Insane Nation). Desecration of Old Glory was one of the festival's main events. Fortunately for me, I now work at a university that bans all political expression by students.
Un-American and anti-democratic of me? Perhaps.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
