This study investigates the ideological construction of discourses on the Bill of Students'
Human Rights (BSHR) through the selected editorial from the Chosun Daily and news report of
JTBC. Discourses on students' human rights in print and broadcasting media are found to be
imbricated within the structure of existing culture, yet, at the same time, challenge the
traditional paradigm. Authors employ critical discourse analysis (CDA) as a methodological tool
to deconstruct the common way of thinking in which frames the students' rights and the
teachers' rights as binary opposition. Using Fairclough's CDA method, this paper tries to
critically interpret and explain the way that the hidden and dominant power of control
configures the discourses on BSHR. Firstly, the study analyzes the text of a news report and a
newspaper editorial to reveal the linguistic discursive strategies embedded in their respective
discourses. Secondly, authors examine at the analytical level of discursive practice, how related
discourses are sutured together to create the oppositional framing of students' rights vs. teachers'
rights. Lastly, the paper scrutinizes the factors behind ideological and social base of the texts
such as parents' educational fever, patriarchism, totalitarianism, views of youth as immature, and
differing interpretations of what infringes on student rights to learn.
