【新唐人2011年10月20日訊】陝西西安一家小學要求學習差的學生得戴上“綠領巾”，上學放學不能摘下，這種貼標籤的做法不僅令孩子和家長感到尷尬，也被網友炮轟為歧視，是中國教育制度的悲劇。
10月17號中午，隨著下課鈴響起，西安未央區第一實驗小學門口湧出了排隊回家的學生們。一些孩子胸前的綠領巾在人群中顯得格外扎眼。一名一年級學生表示，調皮、學習不好的學生就得戴綠領巾，老師要求上學、放學都不能解開，不然就在班上點名批評。
據國內媒體報導，家長也對綠領巾表示不理解，學校沒有徵求過家長同意，也沒有向上級部門匯報過。校方在10月14號將帶有“差生”含義的綠領巾發給學生，老師說，設計綠領巾是想對孩子加強教育培養，激勵他們加油。不過學校九十多名一年級學生中，約有一半人都佩戴綠領巾。
“綠領巾”事件一經報導，立即引髮網友炮轟。“您同意給差生戴綠領巾嗎？” 這個騰訊微博裡的熱點話題，截至18號下午6點15分，有98.09%的網友投票“不同意，會傷害孩子自尊心”。
前山東大學教授孫文廣：“你給他戴上綠領巾，大家都來嘲笑他，這對他的人格是一個侮辱吧，另外對他的心靈也是一個摧殘了。小小的孩子，你不要去打壓他。現在打壓存積的太多了，現在還把這種手段用在小孩子身上，這個簡直是很荒唐的。”
許多教育專家也認為，教育中的激勵，應該是建立在權益平等基礎上的合理競爭，讓每個孩子從中能夠感受到平等、尊重與快樂。給差生戴上特殊標誌的做法，不僅不會起到激勵作用，反而會為學生製造社交障礙，更是一種人格侮辱。
六四天網創辦人黃琦錄音：“實際上在中國大陸，對於那種所謂不聽話的群體進行體罰，加上一些帶有侮辱性的標誌，這種情況由來已久。以前的人就是稱為’地富反壞右’，有些時候還要帶一個胸牌，穿一些特殊顏色的衣服。這種文化一直延續到今天。”
香港《蘋果日報》19號引述內地學者的話說，西安小學的綠領巾事件與佛山小悅悅被車輾冷血事件一樣，都是中國浮躁、功利的社會環境，以及社會道德嚴重缺失的經典表現。
六四天網創辦人黃琦：“當今中國一系列的道德淪喪，這種情況的發生，我想和這類的教育是有很大關係的。正是由於在學校裡面對孩子的體罰，包括對訪民的孩子都有特殊的一些手段，甚至有些孩子還被關押在非法的一些場所裡面，關押幾十天。學校的這種教育，會教育出甚麼樣的下一代，我們也可想而知。”
在家長和網民的一片反對聲浪中，區教育主管部門不得不出面叫停了“綠領巾”活動，目前所有綠領巾已經被收回。

The Green Scarf School Program
Anchor:
An elementary school in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province required
all students who performed poorly to wear a green scarf, which they could not take off during school or at home.
This requirement not only makes children and parents
feel embarrassed, but also netizans criticized this tactic,
labeling it discrimination and calling it a tragedy
of the Chinese education system.
Reporter:
At noon on October 17, when the school bell rang,
students walked out of the school gate
at the No.1 Experimental Primary School in
Xi’an Weiyang District, then lined up to go home.
The children with green scarfs stood out among the crowd.
A first-year student said, “Naughty and bad students have to
wear green scarves."
The teacher told them not to take the scarves off at school
or at home, or else they would be criticized in class.
According to Chinese media reports, parents said
they did not understand the purpose behind the green scarves,
as the school had not previously sought parental consent
or reported the issue to higher authorities.
On October 14, students who performed poorly were given
green scarfs.
A teacher said, the purpose of the green scarves is to
strengthen and improve the quality of a child』s education
and training, encouraging them to be more diligent.
But more than a half of the students wore green scarfs
among 90 first-year students.
Once the Green Scarf incident was reported, it was criticized online.
A Tencent microblogging article titled, “Do you agree
that poor performing students should wear green scarves?"
became a hot topic as of 6:15 p.m. on the October 18,
with 98.09% of users voting: “no, it will hurt a child』s self-esteem."
Sun Wenguang, a former professor at Shandong University:
“You force him to wear a green scarf, everyone will laugh at him, which is a personal insult, which will cause him mental torment.
Don』t do this to young kids, please do not suppress them!
There』s too much suppression now, please do not use green scarves
to suppress kids; it』s simply absurd."
Many education experts also believe that education incentives
should be reasonably competitive, and based on interests of an equal basis, so each child can be happy and equally, respected.
To wear a special sign to broadcast a student』s poor performance,
will create social barriers for these students; it is a personal insult.
Huang Qi, founder of SkyNet of 6•4 said:
“It is a longstanding practice in China to inflict corporal punishment
on groups of people who do not obey the Party, forcing them to wear some kind of insulting sign draped on their body.
There were people who were referred to as ‘landlords, rich peasants,
counter revolutionaries, bad guys, and rightists』 before, and wore a placard, or special colored clothes.
This culture has continued up until today."
Hong Kong Apple Daily was quoted as saying,
“Mainland scholars contend that the Green Scarf incident
on October 19, at the Xi』an elementary school,
and the death of a young child in Foshan City, who was crushed
by a car, were due to the impetuous nature of Chinese
living in a utilitarian society which seriously lacks social morality."
Huang Qi: “The series of moral bankruptcy issues we』re seeing
in China today, are closely related to this kind of education.
It is precisely due to children being subjected to corporal punishment
in school, children of petitioners being treated differently than other students, with some children even being illegally detained for dozens of days.
How will this form of education affect our next generation?
We can only imagine."
After hearing parents and netizens complain, district education
authorities were forced to halt the 『Green Scarf』 campaign, taking back all green scarfs that were in circulation.
