Education authorities have launched an investigation on social networking services (SNS) after a male teacher at a girls’ high school in Incheon made a statement comparing childbirth and male military service obligations during class.

According to the Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education on the 21st, a two-minute recording file was posted on the afternoon of the previous day on X (X, former Twitter) that a teacher at a high school in Incheon publicized the statement that a woman who did not give birth should be sent to prison during class.

According to the recording file, teacher A said, “I think it’s the worst ruling I’ve ever known,” regarding the Constitutional Court’s decision to make the military extra point system unconstitutional. “Men go to prison if they don’t go to the army, but women never go to prison because they don’t have children.”

“(Birth) is not an obligation. That’s why the fertility rate (in Korea) became 0.67, he said. “We should send a woman who does not give birth to a child in childbearing age to prison.” That’s how men and women are fair,” he added.

Teacher A is known to have made these remarks during the ‘Politics and Law’ class on the 17th.

Internet users shared the post and responded that teacher A’s remarks were inappropriate, such as “the teacher’s qualifications are suspected.”

The Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education and the school recognized the issue and launched an investigation.

A school official said, “We checked the relevant information the day before and asked teacher A to write a report,” adding, “We will investigate and review whether teacher A will be disciplined if there is a problem.”
