Hungary Takes On the Feminist Goliath—and Wins

2020-01-11

[PJMEDIA] In an effort to restore curricular and administrative sanity to university education, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and his Fidesz Party have passed legislation to abolish Gender Studies as an area of official study. Hungary’s Deputy Prime Minister Zsolt Semjen has stated that such programs "ha[ve] no business in universities" as they represent "an ideology, not a science," with a market profile "close to zero." Similarly, Orban’s Chief of staff Gergely Gulyas said, "The Hungarian government is of the clear view that people are born either men or women. They lead their lives the way they think best [and] the Hungarian state does not wish to spend public funds on education in this area."

According to reports, Fidesz front man Istvan Hollik, echoing Semjen, brought in the economic argument, pointing to the obvious fact that "You don’t have to be an expert to see there’s not much demand in the labour market for gender studies." But the core of the issue goes deeper. "It is also no secret that our goal is to make Hungary a truly Christian-democratic country, which defends its normality and life and values...And now there’s this situation with gender studies, which is not a science but an ideology and one which is closely linked to liberal ideology, and I don’t think it fits in here."

Of course, such efforts to abolish clearly non-academic programs from the university will be considered an authoritarian and anti-democratic putsch by such bastions of liberal/left propaganda as the Harvard Journal of Law & Gender. The policy is naturally opposed by the Hungary-based Soros-funded CEU (Central Europe

an University), which sees the move as an "attempt at censoring academic curricula." The University, after all, is sacred ground. By these lights the German universities of the 1930s were well within their mandate to espouse and promote the doctrines of Nazi ideology, adopted in the name of progress, justice, and freedom from oppression.

Orban’s surgical strike against the CEU is better understood as a reasonable effort to limit Soros’ totalitarian meddling in the education and conduct of an independent democratic nation. Orban realizes that what he calls the "Soros Plan" entails "transforming Europe and moving it towards a post-Christian and post-national era." The CEU has now relocated its Budapest campus to Vienna where it can persist unmolested in its aim to undermine Western civilization.
