The National Human Rights Commission (HRC) expressed an opinion to the Ministry of Education that it was “contents that promote discrimination” over textbooks that expressed that sexual minorities are’easy to be subject to discrimination from the majority because of their unique sexual orientation.’ The Human Rights Commission dismissed the case of’discrimination due to hate speech of LGBTI people in textbooks’ and dismissed the case of’discrimination due to hate speech of LGBTI people in textbooks’. It was sent to” he said on the 31st. Opinion expression is different from’recommendation’ in which a’implementation plan’ should be presented, but it is a measure taken when improvement is needed from an institutional perspective. The textbook that the petitioner Kim has questioned is the 2019 high school’Life and Ethics’ subject textbook, based on the 2009 revised curriculum, and passed the approval by the Ministry of Education in 2013. This textbook contains content related to the human rights of sexual minorities.’Sexual minority’ is defined as “a person who is distinguished from the sexual majority because of their physical or cultural characteristics”, and “the subject of discrimination from the majority because of their unique sexual orientation. It’s easy to become,” he explained. When it comes to’homosexuality’, it was defined as “sex contact or union between same-sex”. Kim filed a complaint about this, saying, “In describing sexual minorities, it contains the content of infringement on the equal rights of sexual minorities, which constitutes discrimination.” The Human Rights Commission, which received the complaint, determined that “it can reinforce negative prejudice against the identity of sexual minorities by describing identity as if it were a matter of preference or a matter of choice using the term’sexual taste’ rather than’sexual orientation’.” . Next, regarding the definition of homosexuality in the textbook, the NHRCK pointed out that “different from the comprehensive meaning of’love between the same sex’ or’love for the same sex’, it is only reduced to’sexual contact or combination’. In this textbook, there are four arguments for and against the subject of “Same-sex marriage, what do you think?”, and the opposite is “Same-sex is a curable mental illness” “The spread of AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases through abnormal sexual behavior. “Same-sex couples cannot have children, so the population decreases.” “When same-sex couples adopt children, the adopted children suffer serious identity confusion and pain.” The NHRCK said, “It contains content that promotes discrimination against sexual minorities,” and said, “It is highly likely that the identity of sexual orientation can be used as an object of evaluation or as an object of approval or disagreement to distinguish it from people with other identities.” Analyzed. However, as the 2015 revised curriculum-based’Life and Ethics’ textbook was commercialized, the Human Rights Commission rejected Mr. Kim’s complaint for the fact that the textbook will no longer be used from 2020 and related contents have been deleted.
