Students at the Chinese University boycotting classes in protest of the moral and national education curriculum

Moral and national education (MNE), initially known as Moral and civic education (MCE), was a school curriculum proposed by the Education Bureau of Hong Kong in 2012.

The subject was controversial for its stance on the Chinese Communist Party and criticism of the United States' two-party system.[1]
