North Korea news: Kim Jong-un indoctrinates children with a bizarre school curriculum

Starting at nursery school, North Koreans are taught to believe the Kim dynasty are all-knowing and all-powerful.

Young children in are told Christianity and other religions are “evil”, with only Kim and his ruling party worthy of adulation and love.

One defector outlined the sick depths North Korea’s leaders have sunk to in order to preserve their crumbling hermit kingdom.

The defector, known as ‘John’, told Christian watchdog Open Doors the propaganda began in nursery school.

All North Korean children learn about Christianity is that it’s an evil, American religion

He said: “North Korean children are indoctrinated about Christianity from the day they are born.

“When I grew up in North Korea, I also believed that Christianity was evil and that the cross was a symbol of the devil.

“All North Korean children learn about Christianity is that it’s an evil, American religion.

“Even in nursery, we had to bow for the pictures of the leaders, Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jong-Il. Nowadays children learn about and bow for Kim Jong-Un too.”

Children were told Kim, and his father and grandfather, had “majestic powers” – including the ability to “catch a double rainbow with one hand”.

Teachers were instructed to lead prayer groups in which Kim was praised for delivering “our daily bread”.

John said: “Now I realise that they stole this prayer from the Lord’s Prayer.”

He said the destruction of religion in North Korea has led to a society of people who “don’t learn how to love their neighbours”.

John said: “When you don’t love, hate grows in your heart. Where there’s hate, there’s distrust. It’s an important reason why so few people in North Korea are able to truly trust others.

“North Koreans look at each other, always trying to guess the other person’s intentions or next move.”

Instead North Koreans are raised on sick stories aimed at creating a society that only works for the country.

North Korea indoctrinates its children to believe Christianity is evil

John said: “Take this story from a North Korean textbook. A boy lived with his mother at a village in Korea. One day he was carrying the firewood from the mountain. He was passing by the missionary man’s apple orchard.

“All of a sudden, a strong wind blew to the orchard and apples dropped on the floor. He picked up one apple and the missionary man saw it. He yelled at the boy and called him a robber.

“The punishment was that the man also tied the young boy up and wrote with a chemical acid on his forehead. The acid spelt the word ‘robber’. The boy died because of the poison.

“This story always scared me when I was younger. The purpose of this children’s cartoon was to instil hatred of foreign missionaries in them.”

Children are also forced to clean tens of thousands of monuments to the Kim dynasty, another expectation drilled into society, leading to absolute obedience.

John said: “There are between 30,000 and 50,000 monuments in North Korea to honour the Kim family. Some big, some small, but all are important. And the children think it’s their duty and honour to keep these monuments clean.”
