PM Orbán: Sex education of children exclusively up to parents
Only parents should be the ones to decide on the sex education of their children, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in a “samizdat” letter published on his website on Thursday.
The prime minister said alarm bells were going off across Europe over Hungary’s new laws on paedophelia.
“Let’s face it, this movement is eternal, and its new slogan is no longer ‘Proletarians of the world, unite!’ but ‘Liberals of the world, unite!'” Orbán wrote.
This, he added, reinforced “the Central European conviction that today’s liberals are in fact communists with degrees”.
He said the current “left-wing campaign against Hungary” was further proof that the left was “the enemy of freedom”, arguing that “instead of freedom of speech, they want political correctness as defined by them, and hegemony of opinion instead of a pluralism of ideas”.
He said the law passed on Tuesday was not in conflict with any “lofty ideals” or European laws. It “simply states clearly that only parents can decide on the sexual education of their children”, Orbán added.
The prime minister said education in schools must not be in conflict with the will of parents, but should at most be supplementary. Its form and content must be clearly defined and it must be subject to parental consent, he added.
Orbán said parents rightfully expected children to be shielded from pornography, sexuality for its own sake, homosexuality and “gender reassignment programs” on the platforms they visit.
“These restrictions must also be defined with surgical precision,” he wrote. “In Hungary, no one has a say in how adults live their lives. In our view, a free adult should not have to give an account of his life in front of any secular authority – only before God when the time comes.”
This was why, he said, the law did not apply to the lives and “sexual practices” of adults over the age of 18. “Moreover, in the European context, Hungarian society is among Europe’s most committed nations to individual freedom and tolerance.”
The reasons for this, he said, were rooted in Hungary’s cultural traditions, Christian freedom, the nation’s struggles for its own freedom and “a deep contempt for communism and communist tyranny”.
Orbán said Hungarian freedom was not just about political freedom, freedom of choice, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and association, but also about “the right to defend our families and educate our children as we see fit”.
“Our law is a worthy continuation of the European tradition of freedom,” he insisted.
“The debate on the future of Europe – that is, our children – has just begun,” the prime minister wrote. “We are here, and we stand ready.”

What a strange fruit are hanging on the tree in Hungary: homosexual boys and girls. .Thanks to the law of Órbán
My daughters had some teachers who were wonderful, professional and succeeded in making the girls love school. Then there were the ones who were sloppy in their dress, their own behaviors and created power struggles with students. They undermined the goals of myself, my daughter and the learning specialist who wanted co-operation and some simple help. As a teacher of adults with a wide range of disabilities myself I always tried to side with teachers in their relations with students and parents. BUT sometimes teachers are not good professionals, have their own adjenda & can cause great harm to students. When ANY adult is encouraging children to keep secrets about anything from parents they need to be eliminated. Even bad parents should know who their children are so that other family & friends can help raise the child…not the role of paid strangers!
Thankfully, There are leaders in Budapest doing the proper things for protecting the youth from the people whom seek to destroy the family and traditional values.
Beautifully elucidated by Orban.
It is another example how low the left is prepared to go.
This is clearly a campaign to destroy people who have already suffered so much purely for political reasons.
Where is the humanity here.
Homosexuality has been and will be part of society since sexuality exists.
If you happen to be one, live your life with dignity and common decency.
This in itself is not newsworthy.
Unfortunately, like in all societies there are criminal elements may not have anything to do with
homosexuality as such.
This is where the problem comes in.
You live in a country at last where there is freedom on every level, until the way of life or doctrine of an INDIVIDUAL damages or destroys another.
Until children show interest and start asking questions about sexuality, it should not be trust upon them.
We have excellent psychologists for the timing of this ‘delicate’ subject.
LET CHILDREN HAVE A CHILDHOOD.
I am certain a number of eminent psychologists and psychiatrists have been consulted prior to this
LAW having been presented.
Yes! Let the children have a childhood. Indeed, we parents rightfully expect children to be shielded from pornography, sexuality for its own sake, homosexuality and “gender reassignment programs” on the platforms they visit. I couldn’t agree more.
