The teacher was caught on leaked audio calling protesters “cockroaches” in front of students.

A teacher in Hong Kong has been suspended for 14 days after calling protesters “cockroaches” in front of students, in what is believed to be the first time a school has barred a member of staff from the classroom over foul language against the city’s anti-government demonstrators.

The education minister earlier warned that principals would be disqualified if they did not properly handle misconduct complaints against teachers relating to the protests, a move seen as pressuring them to toe the government line. In response to the recording, Principal Dennis Law Chun-ping issued a statement on Saturday, saying the school’s incorporated management committee ruled the teacher had violated its code of conduct.
