Baejae High School disciplines students over May 18 baseball taunts

Reports said Baejae High School gave two students heavier penalties and about 10 others lighter penalties over chants mocking the May 18 uprising during a game against Gwangju Jeil High School. The school withheld individual details to protect students. The team visited Gwangju to apologize, while the baseball association's competition ban was reduced on review from six months to one month.

School discipline and competition restrictions are separate procedures. The discussion concerns affected students' recovery, education to prevent recurrence and the scope of collective penalties.
