"Attempted to Inject Feminism Ideology" Petition Surpasses 260,000... Petition Post Still 'Private'

[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Seoyoung] A Blue House petition demanding punishment for a website alleged to be indoctrinating students with feminist ideology remains unpublished.

On the 5th, a post titled "We petition for investigation, punishment, and disclosure of personal information regarding the organized brainwashing of students" was uploaded on the Blue House petition board. By the afternoon of the 8th, the petition had gained over 260,000 supporters. However, it was subsequently set to private with a notice stating, "This petition is under administrator review. It may take time before it is made public. We will strive to make it public promptly."

The petitioner claimed, "We have confirmed information that a group presumed to be a collective of teachers has been covertly operating for at least four years to indoctrinate students with their political ideology (feminism)." They added, "They approached students in vulnerable situations whose minds could be easily swayed to brainwash them, and encouraged ostracism of students who resisted ideological indoctrination," and "We confirmed that they did not hesitate to engage in horrific actions that educators should never commit in order to achieve their goals."

The petitioner further stated, "It is a matter of public outrage that teachers, who should maintain political neutrality, attempt to indoctrinate students with political ideology." They also urged an investigation, saying, "Although it is not yet clearly confirmed whether the above is true, if it is, this would be a case of systematically and secretly brainwashing numerous students with their ideology for at least four years."
