Advantage
Disadvantage
Any type of action may
lead to the ultimate
sanction and if concerted
resistance is encountered
we must accept a high
probability that all
schools, if closed, would be closed at about the
same time.
Creates excuses for mass rallies etc. to protest.
Still involves drawing a distinction between hard core schools and
infiltrated.
(b) All schools that have been raided by the Police involving
2000 Middle
4500 Primary
200 Kindergarten
The scale is not so large as in (a)
The schools' activities have all been exposed by the raids in a way that those of other schools have not.
The raids have already identified these schools. as centres of subversion: a good deal of mystery surrounds the reasons for the selection of these schools for raids but it will be accepted that what- ever the reasons are, they
are equally valid for action against the schools operations.
Enables the communists to sec that we mean business and make efforts to comply with the objective.
The scale is still pretty extensive and may be larger than necessary.
Creates the opportunity for comfort missions to the schools.
Transfer of the children to other comunist schools is possible involving welcoming oeremonies, creation of heroes of resistance,
eto.
