This is what I mean. Symbolism sometimes becomes so brief that people may misunderstand your opinions. Well, tht other people misunderstand you is not important. But, my dear friend, as a teacher, you have obligations to explain to your students the meaning of the colour orange and display to them all sides of opinions on top of the one represented by the colour orange.

BTW, as my school is a government school, the number of colleagues dressing in red is more than that in yours. The most interesting one is our NET. Not only does she dress in red but she also queries why we do not. She says she is patriotic!? We are all dumbfounded.

@marcellabear - Orange and red are not enemies. A person supporting Beijing Olympics can also protest against the violation of human rights in China. My colleagues and I have discussed whether we should put on an orange jacket on top of a red shirt. Or, vice versa. But we were not sure whether people could decipher our message or not.

@marcellabear - Several mainland Chinese colleagues of my wife arrived at Hong Kong a few days ago. They came from Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing. But they had not heard of the campaign of Colour Orange and therefore we explained the meaning to them in details.
