I Would Call it Agitation

This morning, I almost choked on my cereals, cause I was reading on a popular German new site http://www.tagesschau.de. No - I didn't choke because I was reading - it actually was the content: Poland's education minister is trying to get an act passed that any information related to homosexuality is forbidden in Polish schools.

He actually call the information he wants to ban from Polish schools "propaganda" material - no matter if it was in an educational text book or a picture of a Christopher Street Day/Pride Parade/Mardi Gras (I personally don't think that either one is propaganda....). And the worst thing about all this "we don't need education, only prejudices" story is - it seems that he will get the majority for the vote 8o

You can read about it (in German, sorry): http://www.tagesschau.de/aktuell/meldungen/0,1185,OID6511738_TYP6_THE_NAV_REF1_BAB,00.html and http://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,469432,00.html.

I leave it to you to find similarities to historical events....
