A little while ago in Korea, we began the Hometown District Schools, didn't we? Everybody, as a university professor, how much did you think of your hometown district? We need to think of how to live together in our hometown districts. The person who doesn't want to live together with his own parents, who doesn't want to live in his own hometown district, cannot love the country. This kind of person, if he says he loves the nation, then his word is fake. From this develops living together with the nation, then living together with the world. Then, after living together with the world, we come to living together with Heavenly Father. So that, for the first time, after loving the local area, it became possible to love the nation. (Oct. 11, 1986)

In order to unify North and South, we need to distribute the professors. Now what is the quickest way to mobilize South Korea to the direction of the unification movement? We need to influence the academic world. In order to influence the universities, first of all, we have to move the professors. Next, if you want to go to the local area, you need to influence the junior high schools and the high schools. Next is to influence the elementary schools.

Until now we couldn't defend ourselves from the attempt of the Communist party to bolshevize South Korea centered on the schools and centered on the educational materials that carried left-wing ideology. The Ministry of Education couldn't take responsibility, so through every kind of effort we really need to influence the school masters, need to influence the principals and need to influence the university presidents. Freely in a natural environment, the professors are the ones who can influence them without chastisement. For the movement of unification, Reverend Moon dispensed the Hometown District Schools and established them in the cities, in the counties, in the whole nation. You have to love your hometown district. The professor who comes and goes like the wind in the university after becoming a Ph.D. and becoming successful in his life never really loved his hometown district although he was born there and went to school there. The teacher who wants to love the nation has to start loving the hometown district. Therefore I am saying that we have to educate poor people through the Hometown District Schools. If your own flesh and blood burns with the desire for learning, go back to your hometown district and, shedding tears, hold the poor people in the villages all night. Educate the people in your hometown district.

Therefore, all professors should join the social activities and meetings centered on the Hometown District School in the hometown district that they graduated in. I think that from now on if the professors don't attend the management of the Hometown District School we have to stamp and brand them and purge them from the school and from society. Can you think of the nation without thinking of your hometown district? Confucius said, "Shine your heart to correct mind and action, rule the country well, try to make peace with the whole world." In order to rule the nation, you have to rule your house. Therefore to love the nation, you have to love your hometown. It's the same rationale.
