[Asia Economy Reporter Park Ji-hwan] The Ministry of Education has officially requested a police investigation into the controversy surrounding allegations of feminism indoctrination education by a group of teachers, which was raised through a Blue House public petition.

On the 12th, the Ministry of Education stated, "On the 11th, we sent an official letter to the National Police Agency requesting an investigation to verify the authenticity and facts of the petition."

On the 5th, a post was uploaded on the Blue House public petition board stating, "We have confirmed information that a group of teachers or an even larger organization presumed to be such a group has been secretly working for at least four years to indoctrinate students with their political ideology (feminism) through the internet," sparking controversy.

The petitioner posted a link to saved articles from the group’s homepage and claimed, "They approached students who were in difficult situations and easily swayed emotionally to brainwash them, and for students who did not respond well to their ideological indoctrination, the teachers induced other students to ostracize them."

He added, "At present, it has not been clearly confirmed whether the above content is true or not," and requested, "Please conduct a thorough investigation to clarify the truth of the incident, and if it is true, reveal the full details and severely punish those involved."

The petition has gained over 200,000 supporters as of the afternoon of the 6th and is awaiting responses from the responsible secretaries or ministers and vice ministers of the relevant departments.
