Hello, my name is Pae Anne, living in Yokohama, Japan. I was born and grow up in Japan and been educated since I was 2 up to university. I had no doubt to send my children from primary to high school at Korean school.

The race exclusionism had been set in Japan for long time however our ancestors kept love and pride in order to achieve unification of Korean Peninsula. To make our children live holding the pride, our brothers in Japan executed the ethnic education establishing a Korean school to plant, to name race"s spirit to them, and to succeed to our ethnic culture.

Important talent grows up and is taking an active part by the soil of this Japan by a lot of people"s efforts in not only Korean society but also the place where a lot of worlds including two Korea and Japan exist now.

Because this had had help that not only brothers in Japan but also a lot of friends in Japan supported us and many people of two Koreas did not regret, it was possible to accomplish it. However, the sadness occurred at a Korean school in Kyoto on 4th December. Abuse by group meeting of the exclusionist in Japan to which privileges of foreign resident in Japan were not permitted in front of a Korean school toward children like our treasure was poured.

I cannot let them off as one resident in Japan. This is not outside terrorism that takes the racial exclusionism character than anything. The exclusionist in Japan comes to a Korean school and insults us. This insult was not to have turned to this school simply. Are they having of no one when our race is insulted and our race is erased other than having been thrown out? This turns back to good relationship made in between Japanese and Korean to past era, which we were not coping well each other. Korean people in the world and the sentence introduced below translated the letter written in Japanese in a Korean language and English. Please co-operate to know this fact and to apply pressure to Japanese Government and media of Japan. Also, please tremble with fear today, and send words of encouragement to children who throw tears.

We do anything we can do make our bright future under one fatherland and one ethnic.
Following letter has been translated by Mr. Kenichi Kikuchi, who is good Japanese friend of us being generous on loving protecting our school.

Threat to Korean people school that cannot be permitted by all means!

Dear friends
My name is Kim and sending my 2 children to 1st Kyoto Korean Primary School in Minami-ku, Kyoto City.

As many of you may know that Racist (racial discrimination) group appeared with no intention had caused incidence at front gate of the school by using disgusting words and phrases as swearing.

I have hardly experiences up to now on such a provoking and mortifying time. The group shouted by using loudspeakers as interrupting classes as following. "Children of spy" "It is time to kick out Korean school from Japan. "It had the roaring of the loudspeaker of an unbelievably rude language as the person and the commotion was set up. Children inside were throwing tears frighteningly inside. To have thought it was provoking which was not to have felt it in the group mortifying of me.

There is the word of superstition "It is because of excrement is to be avoided because of scaring it, do not exist, and the uncleanness" as in the proverb of a Korean language. I feel that it cannot permit really in "Rule and good sense of this society" from which such a situation is excused.

It is assumed, "Our standpoint is intermediate" and the police even do not try also to control on that day though children are frightened. The speaker is not prohibited though makes incredible noise aiming at the schoolhouse before the school gate. Is this so called freedom of expression and speech? Justice was unbearably empty not to defend the child.

Though the park space has been opened as common for all users, the group swear in disgusting words as "Illegal occupancy", and move the goal post that the people in the region also are using, and violence that cuts the line of the speaker set up for the safety of the child who uses it, and throws out in front of the school gate with the morning gathering stand. Isn"t it simply damage to property? Does compulsory execution have the authority by the civilian? Isn"t it a threat crime though is frightened of children, even they cry? Isn"t it a slandering neither the individual nor the group there and a contempt?

We did not struggle though we lodged a complaint with the police until going hoarse. I had talked about causing the human rights education and "Right that human rights and the child learnt" by a knowledgeable face at a certain university before it ran to the school. At this time, "Rights for humans and child learnt" was occasionally emptily heard. This problem wants to ask me not the problem of the group of some racists but "Good sense" of a Japanese society that allows it. Such a group might be some Japanese in the certainty. Some Japanese may admit that The Japanese is not only a bad sensed person. There might be a person who wants to say with belief too. However, It is not essence of this problem though the people in Japan might be victim in such a meaning. I think that this was permitted as for happening of such a situation clearly. It is thought that it is necessary to ask "Good sense of a Japanese society" only now.

It is already plenty though it has fully had really mortifying time up to now.
How many times we the Korean people ought to endure by swallow blood"s tears whenever such horrifying incidence to occur? I was unable to sleep because the night was mortified for the idea, "I truly apologize to our children that not to be able to defend" from bottom of the heart honestly this time. How would passed away ancestors and grandparents look at this situation from the heaven? It is likely to grieve that even our great-grandchild get such a treatment done and to suffer. Thank you for lengthily writing up, and reading to the last minute. Please think about the good sense and the way it should be any longer by thinking about you how or these societies so that such a situation should not happen forever and ever.
