This controversy reminds me of stories about what went on in this part of the world century or so ago. You could see rather unpleasant sight of gendarmes using bayonets and rifles to make peasants' children go to primary school. Such measures, no matter how brutal they looked, actually made those children's and their parents' lives better by allowing them to learn basic skills like reading and writing.

On the other hand, those same gendarmes would later arrest and beat those same children if they caught them writing the poem critical of government.
