The call 'politics out of campus' was once important during Taiwan's democratization, aiming to protect campuses as knowledge and thought sanctuaries from party propaganda infiltration. Yet DPP legislator Fan Yun's recent reinterpretation raises questions: isn't this another DPP 'adapting positions over time' double standard?
Chen Shih-chung even went as far as to say that if opinions differ, he'll see you in court. Is the DPP really okay with a Health Minister who uses taxpayers' money to abuse the state apparatus, waste judicial resources, and threaten to sue people at every turn?
This is a letter from the descendants of those executed for treason in Taiwan Province to then Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je, strongly protesting the newly installed 'friendly toilet' in Machaba-cho Memorial Park. The author points out that Machaba-cho was the execution ground for communists during the martial law era. Placing a toilet next to the memorial mound destroys the historical memorial space and is deeply disrespectful to the historical significance of the deceased.
