B) Difference of Opinions Surrounding the Student Human Rights Ordinance and the 2022 Revised Curriculum The conflicting opinions surrounding the student human rights ordinance and the 2022 revised curriculum are similar in that they focus on issues related to discrimination. First, in case of the student human rights ordinance, those who support the enactment or maintenance of the ordinance are concerned about potential student human rights violations when the ordinance is abolished. The current student human rights ordinances, although there are regional differences, explicitly guarantee the human rights of sexual minorities, women, the disabled, and migrants. Moreover, while emphasizing that teaching rights and human rights are compatible concepts, it also suggests an alternative that if there is a concern about the violation of teacher rights due to human rights ordinances, it can be solved by enforcing the ‘Ordinance on the Protection of Teacher Rights and Educational Activities.’682) On the other hand, those who oppose the enactment of the student human rights ordinance or insist on the abolition of the ordinance claim that the student human rights ordinance, which only emphasized the rights of students without mentioning the responsibilities and duties of students, is wrong, and that the abuse of rights derived from such student human rights ordinances diminishes teaching rights and infringes on students’ right to learn. Moreover, some of the provisions of the student human rights ordinance stipulate ‘wrong human rights,’ and stipulating the right not to be discriminated against for reasons such as ‘sexual orientation’ and ‘gender identity’ encourages homosexuality and transsexualism, and prohibiting discriminatory words or actions and hate speech violates freedom of expression.683) On the other hand, the controversy related to the 2022 revised curriculum was mainly centered on gender-related terms, such as ‘sexual minorities’ or ‘gender equality.’ This issue can later be expanded to the question of whether or not stories such as sexual minority discrimination can be dealt with in schools, where the corresponding curriculum is applied. 682) Keumgang Ilbo, “Could Daejeon Student Human Rights Ordinance Succeed?” Nov. 22, 2022 683) Christian Times, Online petition to abolish Seoul Student Human Rights Ordinance, Feb. 3, 2022. 280
