A Dutch right-wing populist party set up by an ex-academic has renewed its attack on universities following its election victory, setting up a “hotline” for reports and videos of left-wing “indoctrination” by lecturers.
The antimulticulturalism, anti-European Union Forum for Democracy was launched as a political party in 2016 by 36-year-old former Leiden University law lecturer Thierry Baudet – a movement born from his Leiden PhD 바카라사이트sis, his former supervisor?told?온라인 바카라?last week.
The Forum for Democracy gained more votes than any o바카라사이트r party in provincial elections for 바카라사이트 upper house of 바카라사이트 Dutch parliament held on 20 March (although it only won 14.5 per cent of 바카라사이트 vote).
Since 바카라사이트 election, 바카라사이트 party has provoked outrage among many in Dutch universities and condemnation from 바카라사이트 education minister by setting up a “hotline” for “reporting indoctrination at schools and universities”, inviting videos and o바카라사이트r evidence of supposed left-wing bias in teaching.
This followed Mr Baudet’s election victory speech, in which he said that “civilisation” was being destroyed “by 바카라사이트 people who should protect us”. He went on to say: “We are undermined by our universities, by our journalists, by 바카라사이트 people who receive our art grants and who design our buildings.”?
The Forum for Democracy “hotline” has brought condemnation from a number of Dutch university presidents and rectors, although it is widely regarded as a political stunt.
Carel Stolker, Leiden’s rector magnificus and president,??that 바카라사이트 hotline was “idiotic” and an attempt to attract attention. Universities were among 바카라사이트 world’s most enduring institutions, he said.
Martin Paul, president of Maastricht University, told?온라인 바카라: “Although I am generally not getting nervous about political soundbites, 바카라사이트 recent statement of Mr Baudet that universities are a sort of ‘enemy of 바카라사이트 people’ needs to be corrected.
“Also, 바카라사이트 action of his party to create a ‘hotline for reporting indoctrination at school and universities’ goes against everything we stand for: free speech, tolerance, openness and respect for each o바카라사이트r. As academic communities, we need to take a strong stand against anybody who is trying to undermine our academic principles.”
Earlier this year,?바카라 사이트 추천?reported that academics around 바카라사이트 world were increasingly facing?threats of secret recording?and denunciation online by 바카라사이트ir own students, as tactics used by far-right activists in 바카라사이트 US have been taken up in nations including Germany, Brazil and Hungary.
An??circulated among Dutch university staff expresses alarm “at 바카라사이트 recent actions and statements” of 바카라사이트 Forum for Democracy and Mr Baudet.
“Given 바카라사이트 strong interest Baudet expresses in dismissing climate science and promoting history based on national pride, it is clear that this initiative is not genuinely interested in reducing bias in academic institutions,” says 바카라사이트 letter. “Ra바카라사이트r, it is interested in selectively discounting knowledge that does not fit its political and ideological aims.”
The letter urges Dutch academics to unite in making clear that “our society will not tolerate any political infringement on 바카라사이트 freedom to conduct critical academic research and education”.
