M. Perłowski: Soldiers will be cursed again! Let us not let false and propaganda in education!

I am certain that no of you request to present specified characters as General August Emil Fieldorf ‘Nil’, Major Marian Bernaciak ‘Orlik’ or Sergeant. Józef Franczak “Dolek”. There is no request to tell their communicative or explain their tragedy. Called fascists, bandits, though they only wanted to see their beloved country truly free. Today, their families frequently inactive do not know where their remains lie.

But a fewer decades ago these stories were not so known due to the fact that they were simply not to be spoken of. This part of our communicative was like a painful splinter that was under the skin, but alternatively of taking care of it and trying to clean up the wound, we had to hide it and face the pain that we couldn't even mention.

Today we can mention the Unbreakable Soldiers, celebrate the day of remembrance publicly, and tell our children about them.

But they may shortly return to the darkness of memory.

Another death is being prepared for cursed soldiers – due to the fact that the erstwhile was given them physically, and the second tried to erase their memory. Now, after years of their presence on the past books, they are to vanish again. And this is all due to the changes proposed by the Ministry of Education. 1 could anticipate the Left to dream of getting to the seats in the Ministry of National Education for a reason. And indeed – the planned changes in the programme basis show clearly that they want to turn the Polish school almost upside down. But he who thinks that these are chaotic or accidental changes is wrong. At least – all these are carefully thought out moves, and each, even seemingly insignificant change, serves higher purposes.

From the basis of the program's past will vanish as crucial for knowing Polish fates as Danuta Siedkówna "Inka", rotm. Witold Pilecki, Irena Sendlerowa, the Ulmów household or the Non-violent Soldiers.

The evidence will besides vanish about the genocide of Poles in Volyn, due to the fact that present it is – as it turns out – illegal. Now we are only talking about the "Polish-Ukrainian conflict". You admit that the conflict between the 2 nations and the genocide committed by 1 of these nations on the another is, however, a fundamental difference. Relating these events is simply a simple lie and an effort to erase the memory of the victims of those events.

What's all this for?

According to the authoritative version, which has been sold with a calming speech by improvement advocates, it is only about "a slimming down the programming base", so that it can be implemented. Pupils and teachers must be relieved of the burden by removing the work to address certain over-excess issues. However, it is hard to defy the impression that these surplus and unnecessary issues were chosen according to a very clear key: From the base is what builds national pride, which shows the heroism of Poles and what could offend neighboring nations. Everything associated with patriotism, national identity, or Christianity is to vanish from past lessons.

But that's not all, due to the fact that change besides applies to another subjects. And they're equally disturbing.

From the software base for geography besides – most likely rather accidentally – The issues concerning Polish economy, tradition and culture disappear. Poland is seemingly to stay only a “poor relative” of the West and without whining or any ambition to occupy its intended place of obediently fulfilling the orders of the larger and richer country.

I think what I have described allows you to realize where this "reform" of education is going, but that is not all.

They're equally dangerous. changes in the biology program. Again, it is hard to avoid imposing ideological associations. The basics of this subject are to vanish messages about sexuality and reproduction, e.g. cognition about the monthly cycle of a woman, about the influence of various factors on the improvement of a kid in the womb or about the principles of prevention of sexually transmitted diseases. That should be our concern by now. This is very crucial information, especially in the context of preparation for motherhood. Perhaps, however, reformers do not want to rise youths to a liable attitude toward sexuality and parenthood. Instead, a different approach can be given to them: the most crucial thing is to be "secure", due to the fact that pregnancy is simply a threat, and how to guarantee the appropriate improvement of the kid before birth should not be necessary, due to the fact that if we do, we will have access to abortion on request.

The most ideological change, however, is the deletion from the programming basis of the point that it is not appropriate to take hormonal preparations without consulting a doctor. It could not be said more clearly from now on that girls can unreflexively fill themselves with ‘day after’ pills and for years swallow birth control pills or that taking hormones sent by a ‘friend of the internet’ may end in irreversible bodily mutilation!

And in order to destruct children's wellness even more effectively, reformers besides remove from the basis of the programme the mention of the importance of movement to wellness or the harmfulness of psychoactive substances: drugs, doping agents, boosters and any drugs.

Is it unnecessary cognition for children and youth? Or is it besides difficult...?

So why should specified content vanish from schools? possibly to make it easier to form a passive, unconscious society and focus only on your own immediate pleasure? Without cognition of the past and without the ability to look to the future – why.

And although I am certain that from the mouth of politicians we will now hear the warm assurance that all this is for the sake of the students, that it is to relieve them and give time to make their passion; that the school is to become a friendly place alternatively than a starting block in a rat race; or that it is only cosmetic changes without meaning – I have no uncertainty that we cannot be deceived by specified spells.

It's a real harvest for them. Even before these young people full make their personality, before they are able to defend themselves from the influence of this brainwashing, indoctrination will set off a full steam.
