Schools whose academics have become inflamed with the new coronavirus in group club activities are attacked through an avalanche of defamatory phone calls and online publications.
If schools are required to take sufficient steps to prevent further spread of the virus, there are considerations that students’ intellectual fitness may be affected after being exposed to such criticism.
To soften this up, experts are asking others who are increasingly frustrated by the pandemic to avoid these scholars as scapegoats.
Rissho Shonan High School, a personal school in Matsue, has earned more than 80 phone calls criticizing the school and verbally insulting its academics, such as “Salt of Japan” and “Destroy the School,” since August 9 after about a hundred people, most commonly, football club members were inflamed with the virus.
The cluster is believed to have occurred in a dormitory where many club members lived together. The school apologized at a press conference and said the school’s preventive measures were inadequate. He also said that the scholars were not to blame.
However, the school’s official blog, which presents student activities, is criticized.
An avalanche of complaints focused on a photo of football club members congratulating the baseball team for completing the moment at the Shimane Prefecture tournament in July and August. Some have denigrated it with comments such as: “They spread the virus without dressing up as a mask.”
The school got rid of the site photo, raising that individual students may be identified, but went viral after it was reported through some TV shows.
In response, the Shimane prefectural government adopted the rare resolution on 21 August to inform the Matsue District Office of Legal Affairs of more than a dozen sites where the photo had been published without authorization, raising “a possible violation of human rights” and requesting that the photo be deleted.

Concerned about the intellectual and physical fitness of the students, the school applied for the Shimane Prefectural Society, made up of qualified clinical psychologists. So far, the company has won consultations from about 50 students, some of whom have difficulty sleeping.
School teams were also held at tenri University Rugby Club, Nippon Sports Science University Wrestling Club and Omuta High School in Omuta, Fukuoka Prefecture.
The Mie Prefecture Education Council has brought its own projects to academics of slander and defamation acts and human rights violations.
The board commissioned a specialized company in mid-May and has since monitored for defamatory messages and other online messages that oppose others inflamed by the virus and others affected by the pandemic.
If there are defamatory messages posted in line with the names of the number one public schools and the secondary schools or prefectures, the board will contact the school and ask them to process the messages.
This is what the directive has shown, some posts with comments such as: “I am afraid because I live near the school where a case of contagion has been shown.”
“We need academics from defamatory acts through temporary cooperation with schools,” a school board official said.
Questions have been raised among professional athletes about the tendency to hit inflamed academics with the new coronavirus, themselves or those around them.

Former Japanese foreign footballer Keisuke Honda sent words of encouragement on Twitter to members of rissho Shonan High School in Matsue, where nearly one hundred cases of infection have been confirmed.
“My message to high school football club members is: “You don’t have to do it for nothing just because you’ve swelled up with the virus,” Honda wrote. I’d like you to come back hard to your dream once you are.” Healed.
Yasushi Fujii, associate professor at Meisei University and clinical psychotherapist, believes that those who make derogatory comments take their accumulated frustration amid the pandemic in infection groups, an easy-to-understand attack target.
“Students would possibly feel that their personality has been absolutely denied if they were denied their school club activities,” Fujii said. “The effect of a raw and undeniable complaint will have to be taken into account, as it can also be traumatic.”
