Woman who escaped N. Korea: U.S. indoctrination is worse

Exclusive: Lt. Col. James Zumwalt quotes Columbia student shocked by anti-West propaganda

Life experiences provide us with an opportunity to develop an expertise in certain areas. For example, teachers develop an expertise enabling them to quickly identify students with learning issues, which the educator can then help them overcome. But what about a situation in which these roles are reversed – the rare situation in which a life experience has imbued a student with a certain expertise the teacher lacks? And, more importantly, if the student wishes to share the benefit of such expertise, will the teacher even listen?

Such is the case at an Ivy League college where a student with a unique background is pursuing an education. The student is Yeonmi Park. She lived in North Korea for 14 years before escaping to China in 2007, where she was forced into the sex slave trade, later making her way to South Korea before moving to the U.S. in 2014.

I love Yeonmi Park. I’ve watched a lot of her videos on YouTube.

I really hope she becomes nationally known as a conservative public figure. She’s sweet and adorable but tough as nails. I’d love to see her take on AOC, or maybe even run against her.

Having seen many interviews and videos etc. on North Korea for years....Park is not one I give a lot of attention to.....she 'borrows' much of what she says from other defectors and calls it her own because she's making a living , Hollywood style, telling her stories. She's had every possible body modification possible to look like a Hollywood starlet.

She is a good voice.

She is a good voice for what the status is, there.

We have even lost our own American voice, for the time being. (Trump)

Lighten up just a bit please.

Sorry if you feel offended I’m not believing some of her stories but even other North Korean refugees, have accused Park of embellishing her accounts or appropriating elements from others’ escape stories and have been complaining their fears they won’t be believed because of what she says.

She’s what is called a “Celebrity Defector”.....making lots of money on books, films, TV programs she hosts etc.etc. all on the back of stories that never jive...even her mother opposes what she says.

So again no thanks....
