Robert Holley should be disbarred, if he hasn't been already

I was talking to a good lawyer friend, and he said that the ethics that lawyers are bound by after graduating from a U.S. university and passing the bar exam are to insure that their legal profession and their buisness dealings are honest and above board. The said lawyers are still bound by the ethics thing no matter what country they happen to be living in, and their behaviour still has to be impeccable regardless of wether the countries laws are a sham or not. The way the Gwangju Foreign school has skirted the legal requirements is a joke, and an embarrasment to the foreign expat community in general, and an example should be made of it's owner to show that we aren't all tarred with the same brush.

His membership of the West Virginia bar has been suspended.

Korea might give Robert Holley more credence as a a new Korean if he allowed his sons to do mandatory time in the either the ROK Army, Navy or Airforce. Not at a desk job either, but as a grunt in the infantry or Naval or Airforce equivalent. The Korean populace who generally see him as someone who swapped citizenship to latch on to the WON rather than for the supposed love of Korea as he claims, might finally be more accepting of him if he ignored the regulations about mixed blood individuals and and let his sons do their military time like everyone else's sons.
