Revolt over school amulets

More than 500 parents and students of a school in Nakhon Si Thammarat yesterday marched in protest against its director's order to have each student buy at least one Jatukham Rammathep amulet produced on behalf of the school.

Seri has been transferred to a temporary post at a regional education office in the province with immediate effect.

At the request of the parents, the school's management agreed to stop producing the amulets using the school's name and replaced some of the teachers who were close to Seri and were involved in the production of the amulets.
