Hungary bans gender studies because it is ‘an ideology not a science’

44

Finally. Someone with stones and title said it. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has been consistently brave and uniquely singular in stating the obvious and for this he is scorned, derided and smeared (much like President Trump). But he is right. Academia all over the West has become politicized and serves a far-left agenda. Orban is standing for the truth and reality. Bravo.

“Hungary bans gender studies because it is ‘an ideology not a science,'” by Caleb Parke, Fox News, October 17, 2018 (thanks to Christian):

Hungary’s populist government has banned gender studies degrees citing low enrollment numbers that waste taxpayer money and because it is “an ideology not a science.”

Left-wing critics say it’s academically problematic, politically unheard of in a democratic society, and argue gender studies degrees do lead to jobs.

Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has been called the Donald Trump of Europe, signed the decree, which went into effect Saturday, removing gender studies from a list of approved master’s programs, though students already enrolled will be grandfathered in.

“The Hungarian government is of the clear view that people are born either men or women,” Orban’s chief of staff said in August. “They lead their lives the way they think best, but beyond this, the Hungarian state does not wish to spend public funds on education in this area.”

Central European University blasted Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s decree banning gender studies degrees as “a major infringement on academic freedom and university autonomy.”

Central European University (CEU), founded by Hungarian-American liberal billionaire George Soros and one of two universities in the country that teaches gender studies, blasted the decree as “a significant loss to the Hungarian scholarly community and for democratically-minded public policymakers.”…

Smart move.
Why isn’t DEVOS ending federal money to finance Queer and LBGT type studies?
How does studying this enrich our society?
I hope Trump gets rid of her. She does nothing. She is a wealthy woman who wants to do something but no idea as to what to do. Incompetent is an understatement. Common Core is alive well and thriving.

DeVos actually supported a pro-jihad curriculum dressed up as a “Building Bridges” type propaganda push as part of Common Core. So in that sense it’s not a surprise she’s MIA on this.

What ever happened to keeping the government out of our personal life?
The role of the government is to protect and defend, not social engineering or studying it.
BTW the LEFT is doing just that. They are REQUIRING “diversity” classes at some colleges and universities as a requirement for graduation. There are anti male “male deconstruction courses” and coping with “white privilege ” courses at colleges and universities. Like Hitler, who was a LIBERAL PROGRESSIVE, the LEFT is following in his footsteps.

“Transgender” is indeed ideology. The business of “preferred [artificial, fake, phony] pronouns,” for example, is to LGBT “leadership” what Ilhan Omar’s call for hijabs in Congress is for Muslims: an example of establishing supremacism. Both groups’ aims – openly subversive, of course – are political in motive and nature: In the case of LGBT “issues,” the more LGBT’s there are in general, and “trans” people in particular, the more powerful groups like GLAAD and HRC become, and the more powerful politicians like Theresa Sparks, Annise Parker, Chris Wiener and Kathleen Wynne become. And you do not promote something (as the radical socialist Left is doing with transgenderism) unless you mean to increase it. And it is all about weakening and softening the populace to make them more vulnerable to being enslaved if not killed under the thumb of Islam.

Transgenderism is also the ultimate emasculation and castration of males, the “crowning achievement” in the radical socialist feminist Left’s long-standing “war on boys” and “war on masculinity” as has been manifested since the 1960’s. M-to-F “reassignment surgery,” for example, is literally about removing and cutting off and severing one’s manhood. Reassignment surgery is also for that “community” what FGM is for Islam – in both instances, it does not benefit that whom it’s being done to one bit, and is for the sole benefit of the respective “movements,” and representing the patient’s ultimate submission to the respective supremacist ideologies. Antifa and Occupy support spreading transgenderism because for them it’s about ending “white male heterosexual privilege”; Black Lives Matter supports it because they consider the recognition of and respect for basic male-female differences as a relic of white supremacy; #MeToo, Time’s Up and the odious, anti-Semitic “Women’s March”[sic] movement support transgenderizing society as a means of ending “sexism and misogyny,” eradicating “toxic masculinity” and “smashing the patriarchy.”

Thank G-d that Orban realizes and recognizes such basic realities that the radical Left seeks to alter for totally nefarious and unsavory purposes. He cares far more about the children of Hungary than Democrats do about our own children.

Agree 100% !

We have slide down the slippery slope with transgenders.
Homosexuals HATE the opposite sex and transgenders HATE their biological gender.
It’s all about hatred. There is no “gay gene” and no one is born that way. It’s all about ABUSE – emotional, physical, sexual or lack of a proper role model.

You will find more violence in the LBGT community than in the heterosexual community by percentage. People advocating for LBGT don’t realize they are promoting abuse that could be helped with therapy. As always I am not suggesting we murder them but allow them to get the help they need for their emotional confusion acted out sexually when they are of age. Many states have BANNED therapy for this….

There is no such thing as LBGT…it has been known as “gender dysphoria” since the Greeks….it is a mental illness…and less than 1% of the population has the actual affliction….yet the Left Libtards use these unfortunate people as the means to their own ends……
It is actually how cults begin….brainwashing weak minded people to accept a wrong concept, then another, then another….and before you know it you have a cult….a mindless, compliant cult….It worked for Hitler, Manson, the Hari Krishnas, the Jones cult down in Africa where everyone drank the Kool Aid….

Read the John Hopkins Hospital report on transgenderism after more than 40 years of dealing with this matter. It is a ‘mental disorder’. “…..those who think they are transgender are actually suffering from a life-destroying mental disorder.” Yet schools in the U.S. and Canada are not warning children against the destructive and disease-afflicted LGBTQ life-styles.

And the reason they’re not making such warnings is that, indeed, they are out to convert the children to these destructive lifestyles. There was a story (which I saw on Michael Savage’s website) about a school with 17 “trans” pupils where the kids were actually GROOMED to being turned “trans.” When I mention transgender as “ideology,” I specifically refer to those that actively promote, glorify, encourage, endorse, sanction and spread such behaviors – not those who are sucked into this dark abyss.

….I think the we should all know by now that “college” is nothing more than a Dimm-socialist-globalist indoctrination camp….look at that crazy- -eyed witch, Cortez….she allegedly has a degree in economics, but has no clue about economics when asked questions about economics….and instead tells people who question her that they aren’t “qualified” to ask those questions!?!

What I want to know is when will President Trump start pulling our tax dollars from these indoctrination camps…..WE ARE PAYING FOR OUR ENEMIES TO TAKE US OVER!

Left-wing critics say it’s academically problematic, politically unheard of in a democratic society, and argue gender studies degrees do lead to jobs.

It is a waste of a young person’s intellectually formative years. The fact that it is not a science is marginally relevant- plenty of respectable fields that do provide a good intellectual foundation are not among the sciences.

I wonder what is meant by “gender studies degrees do lead to jobs”. Barista, maybe? Nothing wrong with being a barista, but spending one’s undergraduate years studying gender studies does not provide good background. Academe is guilty of hoodwinking young people with trendy, shallow fields of study that do not prepare them well for any career (ok, maybe as a gender studies professor). Humanities students would be much better off studing history than “gender studies”.

That was another one of Trump’s mantra….we need to bring back trade schools because not everyone should go to colleges to learn what they teach now…that basically you can’t make a living…except people like Cortez who is getting a lot of money for being a performing monkey for the Left….but that too shall end at some point.

I think there is nothing necessarily wrong with what Hungary is doing, it is their country and their right after all. Politics and education should NOT mix like this. And like it or not, feminism, especially in its current incarnation, is a very aggressively political course of academic study.

Course of study? What do they study….that they have female parts and that makes them superior in some way? I believe God created man…and then woman….not woman and then man. And one is not superior to the other…they are equals and each need the other. There is no supremacy in either sex.
A woman cannot create another human without the sperm of a man….the man cannot create another human without the womb of a woman.

Apparently they don’t teach biology in colleges anymore.

This is not and never has been about the sexes…..it’s about the sociolistic control of humanity by one select group of elites….and it’s not going to end well if we don’t wake up and stop this insanity….I see “Nineteen Eighty Four” in our future if this isn’t stopped.

Why in every scum of human history there is/were or are Jews involved somehow?
Big soviet revolution of 1917, people are saying Jews helped Stalin.
Big pogroms afterwards, allegedly Jews helped orchestrate it and were among ones who helped to maintain it thoroughly, I’ve heard.
I also have heard, Jews were guards in Nazi’s camps. Did really Jews helped to burn Jews in those camps? Many people believe so. And it troubles me.
Why in all world wars Rothchild’s people – Jews, were involved? Financing Nazi party and soviet bolsheviks in the same time.
Why that frog face, Soros, another Jew, is involved in every New World order scheme, like massive migration of today, or helping to crumble sovereign governments yesterday, or that stupid New World idea about gender-less society?
Some prominent Jews in Europe are promoters of massive migration too.

Why is it? Are you Jews, really cursed?

How is this any better than Twitter banning the opinion of Conservatives? I’m no fan of feminism or gender studies but no knowledge should ever be banned.

Religions are not Science either should we ban them too? I make an exception for Islam and Nazism because they are based on lies and are very dangerous, but I believe they should be banned as political ideologies, but the book should be taught as a warning to future generations of violent/evil belief systems.

I credit Hungary for keeping Muslims/Islam out of their country but then don’t turn around and start censoring knowledge the way Muslims or Communists would, that makes you no better than other types of fascists.

Social Studies, Philosophy, Psychology are not exactly sciences either, should we ban them too? This is foolish.
