NORTH KOREA BRAINWASHING CHILDREN AND TAUGHT THEM TO HATE U.S. FROM KINDERGARTEN

Young children in North Korea are being brainwashed to ensure they will support ruler Kim Jong-un, according to an Australian man who has done extensive research in the secretive country.

University of Sydney doctoral student Christopher Richardson said children are taught to hate the USA, Japan and South Korea and worship the leader as soon as they reach kindergarten.

The PhD candidate's thesis explores how the state monopolises education and children's culture, even controlling the songs, films and games that they can listen to and enjoy.

But he also argued that the North Korea's Workers' Party's influence may be waning as he said that many young children have started illegally watching Disney films - including Frozen.

'From the moment children are born, the first words they are taught are words in worship of the Kim family,' Mr Richardson said.
'From the time they are in kindergarten they are taught to hate the United States, Japan, and South Korea, and they are taught to love the leaders.

He has examined more than 70 North Korean children's book and said it was 'extraordinary' that some of the leaders were credited as having written some of the fairy stories and fables.

Kim Jong-il, the current supreme leader's father, is credited with writing 'Boys Wipe Out Bandits,' a story about the 'redemptive power of ultra-violence'.

He said that in stark contrast to the West which has a cultural free market, the state controls book publishing in North Korea.

'There is a very small number of state owners publishers and all authors are state appointed. The idea of a celebrity author writing a book is unheard of.'

Children are taught that they should be prepared to risk their own life to save the supreme leader, pictured posing with a model of a nuclear missile
