拒邀性少数维权份子主讲 圣若瑟副校长:行动主义导致社会分裂

圣若瑟书院副校长陈顺德(译音)认为,行动主义推动社会变革,会造成社会群体的分裂。 在本月20日,跨大学LGBT网络研究与宣传总监Racheal Yeo,原受邀在圣若瑟书院举行的TEDx青年讲座主讲,却在最后一分钟被腰斩。 此事也引来数家新加坡网媒如本社、“椰子网”和“独立网”报导,引起网民关注国内性少数群体(LGBTQ+)在一些主流场合持续被排挤、歧视的情况。 根据日前他向天主教学校学生一次致词的录音音频,陈顺德解释为何该校最后一刻拒绝邀请性少数维权份子Racheal Yeo。 他呼吁学生们认清,将来他们学成踏入社会,言行将对周遭人产生影响,必须谨言慎行。 “可能是五个人、500人甚至5千人,就像成为公共服务署长的圣若瑟校友,旗下统领6万下属,包括我。他的言行将影响6万人,乃至百万新加坡人,对吗?就如副总理张志贤,也是我们的校友,其职务亦举足轻重。“ 他劝谕学生在面对眼前时局,应抱持谨慎心态。希望学生们离开圣若瑟时,已准备好面对、成为有能力领导、作出影响力的角色。 陈顺德为校方最后一刻拒绝邀请Racheal Yeo辩解,后者乃LGBTQ性少数群体的社运份子,捍卫性少数群体权益。他希望学生们厘清“行动主义”(activism)的定义,以及它是否适用于新加坡社会情境。 冀学生以“和平方式”推动社会变革…
