(Central News Agency, Taoyuan, 3rd) Taoyuan Mayor Chang Shan-cheng was called 'Xindian Mayor' by students during a recent graduation ceremony at Wu-ling High School. Kuomintang Taoyuan City Councilor Chan Chiang-tsun subsequently posted a message criticizing the students. In response, the school stated today that 'any form of cyberbullying, doxxing, or inappropriate attacks on students is detrimental to the practice of educational values.'
The Wu-ling High School student representative group stated yesterday that they would initiate a petition today, 'requesting the councilor to apologize to the affected students both on and off campus, as well as to the school.' In response, Chan Chiang-tsun posted last night that he did not doxx the students and would not apologize, adding that if Wu-ling students feel he has damaged the school's reputation, they are welcome to file a civil lawsuit.
Wu-ling High School issued a statement today, noting that 'in the 71 years since its founding, countless teachers, students, parents, and alumni have worked together to build the reputation and social trust that Wu-ling enjoys today. This hard-won honor and value is an asset that all Wu-ling people cherish and protect together.'
The school stated that 'Mayor Chang personally presented awards to the winning students at the graduation ceremony and offered his graduation blessings. The entire ceremony was orderly, warm, and harmonious. Teachers, students, and guests all participated enthusiastically and successfully completed all activities, leaving the graduates with precious and beautiful memories.'
The school pointed out that it 'respects the right of all sectors of society to express their opinions on public affairs and understands that different positions may have different viewpoints. However, any commentary on the educational environment should be based on complete facts and rational discussion.'
The school stated that 'individual incidents or the words and actions of a single student should not be infinitely magnified or over-interpreted as an evaluation of the entire student body, the professionalism of teachers, or the results of school education. In this process, students have already suffered personal attacks, verbal abuse, harassment, and psychological pressure from online communities.'
The school noted that 'students are still in a stage of learning and growth. Facing discussions on public issues and differing opinions should be an important learning process in a democratic society. However, any form of cyberbullying, doxxing, or inappropriate attacks on students is detrimental to the practice of educational values and is something the school must defend.'
The school stated that 'in response to this incident, our school has proactively reached out to the affected students, providing necessary counseling and support, and continues to monitor their situation. We respect the students' right to care about public affairs, express opinions, and participate in public discussion through their student self-governance mechanisms. We will continue to accompany students as they learn to express themselves rationally and participate in public affairs responsibly, protecting students' rights, maintaining educational professionalism and the school's reputation, and upholding the rationality, respect, and tolerance that education should embody.'
