A protester holds a placard as thousands of people march in a down town street in Hong Kong Sunday, July 29, 2012.to protest the looming introduction of Chinese patriotism classes in primary schools that they fear will lead to brainwashing. Teachers, parents, students and pro-democracy activists fear that the classes will be a tool used to brainwash children into supporting China’s communist party. The government has denied that and says it is aimed at building Chinese national pride. (AP Photo/Vincent Yu)
