Shocking controversy is erupting as rapper BewhY, a father of two, publicly blasted an elementary school sex education textbook on Instagram, igniting a fierce nationwide debate over how gender is taught.
On the 20th, BewhY shared parts of an elementary school sex education textbook via his Instagram Story. The material included lines such as "Sex is divided into biological sex and socially constructed gender (gender)" and "Rather than simply categorizing sex, it is important to understand it from diverse perspectives." BewhY added captions like "Are they out of their minds?" and "Shouldn’t the people who teach be the ones getting educated?" signaling strong criticism.
He also cited Bible verses to clarify his stance, sharing passages like "God created humankind in his image... male and female he created them" and "He made them male and female," emphasizing that, in his view, gender is part of an essential order rather than a personal choice.
Online communities and social media have since exploded with mixed reactions. Some netizens agreed, saying, "Setting religion aside, there are concerns about this curriculum" and "This education feels dismissive of the concept of biological sex." Others pushed back, arguing, "Understanding gender as a social construct is necessary in modern society," and criticizing BewhY’s perspective as overly conservative.
Meanwhile, BewhY married in 2020 and has one daughter and one son.
