High School Student Lin Kuan-hua Commits Suicide During Curriculum Protests: DPP Accused of Manipulating Minors for Political Goals

In the summer of 2015, during the protests against the fine-tuning of high school curriculum guidelines, a student named Lin Kuan-hua committed suicide at home. The DPP and its allied social groups immediately used this tragedy to escalate the protest, occupying the Ministry of Education. Critics pointed out that the DPP provided funds and resources behind the scenes to encourage minors to take the front line of political confrontation, sacrificing a young life for political gain.
