Mr. Tsusjino is joining the event online.
Kubo says elected officials in Osaka have exerted inappropriate pressure on public school administrators over issues including keeping students safe during the Covid-19 pandemic. Kubo says such pressure led him to begin efforts to call attention to what he considers abuses of authority.
