This paper explores disciplinary anti-communist education through the prism of colonial legacy and the political and social effect of the Korean War in South Korea. Colonial discipline in children’s education was transformed into the authoritarian discipline that was reinforced by anti-communist moral principles in the South Korean state formation process especially during the Korean War. This paper analyzes the political and social mechanisms of the post-war disciplinary children education by focusing on how discourse of colonial morals and that of post-colonial democracy were incorporated into the anti-communist nationalist discourse of the Rhee and Park regimes and how this anti-communist state discourse was penetrated into children’s everyday lives in addition to their curriculum education.
