According to Taiwan media reports on the 23rd, the school teacher suspected of preaching to students is at Hulu Primary School in Shilin District, Taipei City. The primary school was founded in 1975 and is an public school . Recently, a parent who did not want to be named complained to Taiwanese media, saying that in the teacher's class website, there was an article titled "All golden sentences of the Bible are selected in total," and 10 so-called "银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银银�
According to the screenshots provided by parents, some of the "Bible Golden Sentences" include: "Educate a child to walk the way he walks. Even if he is old, he will not deviate from it." "My son, you must not underestimate the discipline of Jehovah, nor should you be tired of his reproach; because he will reprove the one whom the Lord loves, just as the father rebukes his beloved son." "Whatever you do, do it to glorify God."

According to Taiwan's "Basic Law of Education", public schools shall not engage in religious propaganda or activities for specific religious beliefs, and the administrative agencies in charge of education and public schools shall not force school administrators, teachers and students to participate in any religious activities. Based on this, Taiwanese media pointed out that the behavior of the teacher at Hulu Primary School seems to have been illegal.
In response to this, Dong Zhuyou, the academic affairs director of Hulu Primary School, responded that the parent has also recently complained to the school about the teacher. The parents believe that although the teacher will write "encouragement" words to the students, those words are all content of the Bible.
Dong Zhuyou said that the school has informed the Education Bureau about this, held a teacher meeting, and formed an investigation team at the same time. At present, the matter has entered the investigation process, and there will be an external investigation committee member to conduct interviews with teachers and parents, and after that, they will be handled according to the investigation report.
According to Dong Zhuyou, the investigation team will conduct the first interview starting from July 25. He also said that this teacher has a more personal style, and it was the first time the school heard about such a thing.
Regarding this matter, Chen Suhui, deputy director of the Taipei Municipal Education Bureau, added that the teacher's class has graduated, and the students' parents did not respond to the teacher during the semester. It was only after the students graduated that the parents reported the matter to the school. Although the "Basic Law of Education" stipulates that schools cannot engage in religious activities, the school is not aware of this case and is a personal behavior of the teacher. Therefore, the current way of handling is to conduct an investigation first. If the investigation is true, an assessment will be conducted and a discussion will be given to the teacher.
