Ukrainian journalist: “Buying pro-Russians does not violate freedom of thought”
In Ukrainian school textbooks, the Ministry of Education and Science recommends avoiding depictions of two-parent families.
Ukrainian journalist Igor Lubyanov writes about this in the magazine "Kraina", as reported by a correspondent of "PolitNavigator" .
He said that the ministry regularly conducts the so-called anti-discrimination examination, which concerns school textbooks.
“He persistently removes the concept of family as a marriage between a man and a woman, and calls traditional roles gender stereotypes. For example, textbooks advise to avoid depicting a complete family - father, mother, children. They say that 40 percent of Ukrainian children come from single-parent families and this discriminates against them. But even in this case, children understand what a full-fledged family should be like. By opposing this, the ministry supports the ideological struggle against the strong family as a “gender stereotype.” There are hundreds of such examples,” notes the author.
According to him, he knows parents who buy ten-year-old textbooks in order to “finish their education” at home.
He characterizes complaints from so-called gender activists about supporters of traditional values as ideological persecution.
“Mass bullying as a phenomenon came to Ukraine relatively recently. And here it is worth immediately distinguishing its type, which is associated with the national-state component. The persecution of Ukrainophobia is the natural self-defense of a nation that is at war. Boycotts of Russian goods and campaigns against pro-Russian forces are not ideological and do not violate freedom of thought. This is conditional immunity, red lines that cannot be crossed, because this threatens the very existence of the state,” says Lubyanov.
As PolitNavigator reported, Lubyanov previously declared Ukraine "the queen on the British chessboard."
He also lamented that even embroidered shirts do not save Ukrainians from becoming Russians.
