You aren't exhibiting a finally tuned sense of ethics.
Exactly which ethical principle(s) are you following?
This seems like a 5 minutes of thought kind of solution to an incredibly complex problem.
North Korea can buy/steal/grow the knowledge they need. They already have nukes, and are working on missiles. I think the notion that we should sanction education (on top of the existing sanctions) is just playing by the already broken playbook we (the rest of the world) have been to date. We are feeding their propaganda machine on how evil we are.
Just a question, how is the DPRK any MORE evil than other states the US happily does business with? (Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Israel, China, etc) What in particular makes them evil?
I agree that it is a messed up situation and some horrible shit is going on. But I also have a feeling we are being manipulated by the media.

We are not obligated in any way to provide education to North Korea. Saying we are "evil" for not educating another country is quite a stretch.
Which is why we're discussing denying them education, rather than merely not educating them. Denying or obstructing their education is pretty darn evil.
