 A prestigious Hungarian university on Tuesday blasted a government decree that prohibits gender studies courses as a "major infringement" on academic freedom.
The decree, signed by Prime Minister Viktor Orban and in force since Saturday, dropped the subject from a list of masters degree programmes entitled to official accreditation and financial support.



quote:

In June a magazine owned by a close ally of Orban published a list of researchers at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, accusing them of working on "gay rights and gender science".
Orban's deputy Zsolt Semjen said later gender studies "has no business (being taught) in universities," because it is "an ideology not a science".
Labour market demand for gender studies graduates was also "close to zero," as "no-one wants to employ a gender-ologist," Semjen said



quote:

A higher education law placing tough new requirements on foreign universities which passed last year was also seen by critics as targeting the CEU, founded by liberal US billionaire George Soros.
Attracting students from over 100 countries and also offering US-accredited programmes, the university has long been seen by Orban as a hostile bastion of liberalism.




If Bamarep ever decided to leave this great nation of ours, Hungary would be near the top of choices for my new crib.

They seem to be the only EU country besides Poland left with a brain.

The European right understands what it requires to defeat Marxists as they've had to do it time and time again. Nip it in the bud and you save yourself a lot of trouble in the future.

The subject was dropped from the list of degrees entitled to accreditation and financial support. Government wants to use its money for education that’s actually useful. There’s no market for “genderologists”.

Because I'm not in favor of government dictating academic exploration, basically thought control, I'm anti-science? Are you retarded?

You're the one advocating studies into something that is a figment of man's imagination but I'm the one that's retarded?

Ok then.

Transgenderism is a mental disorder.

No matter how many billions Soros pours into this nonsense it isn't going to undo eons of scientific FACT.

Nothing is keeping the people who want to explore that subject from doing so. There's nothing about "gender studies" you can't find online anyway, don't pretend its a field that requires a lot of in-depth study anyway.

Add Austria and Czech Republic. Pretty all of Central Europe. If, (when), the EU collapses we'll have a strong ally in a reborn Austro-Hungarian Empire.

If the government is to put its hands into financial assistance for college tuition, they should only do so if the student is in a major that is actually needed by the workforce. So tired of hearing people bitch about not being able to pay back student loans and they chose something completely unemployable.

Starbucks might disagree with you. Where do you think they get a lot of their Baristas from?

Funny, the government did not ban the thought, they simply said there would be no more government funding for "gender studies"... Surely if the studies are so important, the universities can find alternative sources of funding?

My comment had nothing to do with the legitimacy of the field.
