Students are expected to memorize and recite Kongzi 孔子’s works, but not to question or debate them in class.

Sound familiar in any way?

You mean like “Students are expected to memorize and recite The Pledge of Allegiance every day, but not to question or debate it in class”?

I never saw the point of that quasi-Stalinist Pledge deal anyway. Why do students have to do it every day? Adults have to swear an oath on taking up certain posts such as the Presidency but they only have to do it once, not every day before they start work.
