On November 3, 2015, the SK gov made a unilateral decision requiring all secondary schools to use Korean history textbooks issued by the national government starting in 2017, replacing the current textbooks published by 8 different companies

On our campus there was a poster protesting the textbooks where you could get a sticker and put it on the poster to show you oppose the textbooks. The law passed and no one cared about the stickers. Slacktivism is the true nature of postmodernism and identity politics, it's even spread to a country that had a massive leftist movement only 20 years ago.

Actually there was a massive rally in Seoul today for various causes including the textbooks. The problem is that the student-worker alliance which led to the democratic revolution in the late 80s was shattered by neoliberalism. So the labor movement remains militant, well organized, and highly political. Just this year the Migrants Trade Union was recognized with the help of the KCTU umbrella union after 10 years of struggle. Though I have talked to some Korean Marxist labor activists who are more pessimistic about the situation.

Anyway, the student movement has disappeared. What remains is identity politics and slacktivism like you see in America. While you may think the anti-racist protest going on in Missouri is good, and maybe it is by American standards, as a model it's a serious regression for students who at one time were the intellectual vanguard of the Minjung revolutionary movement.
