Allow conservative voices at universities, minister says

“We must allow conservative voices at universities,” Poland’s Minister of Education and Science Przemyslaw Czarnek told Gazeta Polska daily, adding that “the Academic Freedom Package is already being processed by the Council of Ministers”, reports Poland in.

“I hope that the package will be adopted this month and will go to the Sejm [parliament’s lower house], so that from autumn one cannot be held disciplinarily responsible for expressing one’s ideological beliefs. After all, the constitution guarantees this,” said Czarnek.

The aim of the package is to guarantee freedom of speech and enable exchange of ideas at universities, but it will not allow the glorification of Nazism or Communism. “The beliefs that a marriage is between a woman and a man, that a father is the father, and a mother is the mother, are beliefs that can be proclaimed at universities and one cannot be held responsible for them,” he said.
