Leung has also distinguished himself by inciting a large swathe of school teachers and students to stage massive street protests against his hasty effort to insert a “national education” program into the school curriculum in order to “reconnect” Hong Kong’s young people with the motherland. For tens of thousands of student protesters, many with their parents in tow, the potential death of an honest education was too much to bear.
令梁振英名声大噪的还有其引发大量教师和学生走上街头大规模抗议的草率决定——在学校课程中增设“国民教育课”来将香港年轻一代与祖国大陆“重新连接”起来。对成千上万的学生抗议者来说（许多人的父母也尾随其后），失去客观公正立场的教育是无法承受的。
