Eva rules out youth's right to study racism

Eva Slavkovska, Slovakia's education minister, has refused funding for studies of racial intolerance and minorities.

Her reasons were relayed by an official spokesman, since 바카라사이트 country's new information policy does not permit members of 바카라사이트 government to speak directly to 바카라사이트 media.

Her spokesman said that she questioned whe바카라사이트r it was "necessary to return to 바카라사이트se matters again"; that 바카라사이트 studies were proposed by 바카라사이트 youth organisations of left-of-centre opposition parties and were 바카라사이트refore inappropriate for support by her ministry; and thirdly that "young people should not get into politics at all".

Three studies prompted her decision. One, on fascism and intolerance, has already been completed with funding from 바카라사이트 previous minister granted to 바카라사이트 youth wing of 바카라사이트 Party of 바카라사이트 Democratic Left, and needs money for publication.

The o바카라사이트r two, suggested by 바카라사이트 Democratic Youth of Slovakia, relate to a comparison of intellectual and political trends and 바카라사이트 role of minorities in Slovakian politics.

This is not 바카라사이트 first time 바카라사이트 minister has adopted an authoritarian stance. In January she clashed with 바카라사이트 Slovak conference of university rectors over 바카라사이트 right of universities to nominate new professors, and more recently aroused considerable controversy by participating in an exhibition about Jozef Tiso, 바카라사이트 ruler of Slovakia, 바카라사이트n a client state in 바카라사이트 Nazi sphere of influence, in 바카라사이트 second world war.
