Should S. Korean teachers be punished for political activity?

A law banning South Korean teachers and other government workers from participating in politics should be repealed, according to this editorial. Recently, 16 teachers who paid dues to the Democratic Labor Party were expelled by the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education. However, teachers who participated in similar political activities in another jurisdiction received lighter punishments.
