Many parents of children attending Polish schools can meet akin situations. On the 1 hand, they may not always remember the statutory obligations to let external entities to operate at school. On the another hand, parents' inactivity and deficiency of cognition about their powers and possible for impact on school reality can besides be an indirect cause. In specified circumstances, how should parents who do not agree to advance the content of the LGBT demands in the school space and how to prevent specified situations?
When can organizations operate at school?
First, it should be borne in head that it is possible to apply to the school chief for public information in relation to the completion of the procedure under Article 86(2) of the Law of 14 December 2016. – Educational law (hereinafter: PrOśw). OJ of 2023 item 900.
The activities of external entities in the school must be agreed with the director, and this decision must be preceded by a affirmative opinion of the school board or the institution and the board of parents. The presence at the school of an association or organisation (as well as a natural individual outside the institution) should be understood very widely. It can besides be the dissemination of various promotional material by external organisations, e.g. in the form of information posters or leaflets, especially if they have been delivered to school by volunteers or activists of these organisations.
In turn, if we are dealing with content presented, e.g. on a school newspaper, on the initiative of a student self-government or a pedagogical council, it is worth reminding parents that promoting the sexuality of people with homosexual tendencies or the ideology of "trans" can lead to akin dissensions about their sexuality or identity in students who have not so far experienced specified dilemmas. Rather, combating peer force and discrimination does not mean promoting content that could jeopardise the undisturbed improvement of psychosexual children attending school.
Moreover, the school chief and teachers should consider the content to be presented in the school corridor, the school newspaper, or the educational hour. According to educational law, the education strategy only supports the educational function of the household [See Article 1(2) of the PrOśw.], and in addition, parents are given precedence in education over their children[ What guarantees the Constitution of the Republic of Poland in Article 48(1) and Article 53(3). More on this subject can be read in the essay "Obligatory sex education in Polish schools?".
It should besides be stressed that, in accordance with Article 84(1) PrOśw, ‘the advice of parents may be made to the chief and another bodies of the school or establishment, to the body moving the school or establishment and to the body providing pedagogical supervision with requests and opinions on all matters of the school or establishment’. The parents' board may besides ask the school head to amend the school statute. The school's statutes regulate issues specified as the objectives and tasks of the school as a consequence of the law and the way they are implemented, the authorities of the school and their detailed competences, as well as the detailed conditions for the interaction of the school's bodies and the way in which they are dealt with, or the principles of the appropriate behaviour of pupils towards teachers and another school staff and another students.[See Articles 98(1) and 99 PrOSw] The body which adopts the statute or changes it is the school board (if it has been appointed in a given school), comprising an equal number of representatives of teachers, pupils[This does not apply to pre-school pupils and pupils in grades I to IV of primary schools] and parents of pupils[See Article 80 et seq.]. The establishment of a school or institution board is organised by the school or institution manager on his own initiative or at the request of the parents' council[And in the case of secondary schools besides at the request of the student council].
The parents' council besides adopts, in consultation with the pedagogical council (created by teachers and director), an educational-profile programme which includes educational content and activities aimed at pupils and the content and prevention activities aimed at students, teachers and parents[Article 84(2) and Article 26 PrOśw]. This programme may be crucial for the promotion of certain content in the school space, organised events or topics discussed in the educational lesson.
In conclusion, the activity of the parent environment, which should be active in the school's life, in peculiar through the school board and the parents' council, cannot be overestimated. Of course, in the case of activities in the school of organisations promoting harmful content for young people, it is worth paying attention to the completion of educational law by the school director, which may block entry into the schools of external entities against the will of the board of parents and individual parents.
Parents of school-age children may besides find it helpful to have the material prepared by Ordo Iuris on their parents' rights at school, including the submission of an educational parental message to remind the school chief and the teachers employed there about their parents' rights towards their kid attending the facility. This message besides sets out the principles of the school's cooperation with the parent, especially in the field of information, so as to avoid any understatements and unpleasant situations that may arise as a consequence of the participation of the kid in various types of events organised by the school without the cognition and consent of the parent.
