“We Continue the Change” will introduce a bill to change the controversial “definition” in the Preschool and School Education Act next week, the party’s press office said.
“There is no propaganda in the Bulgarian school. It was prohibited by law until now. Every content that reaches the students, every textbook, every aid or curriculum goes through the approval of the Ministry of Education and Science. The adopted amendments to the law on pre-school and school education “struggle” with a non-existent problem. Not only that, they plant a huge new one”, the announcement reads.
The party is convinced that “it is not the state’s job to enter people’s homes and control their private lives and behavior. The state cannot determine what is traditional and what is not – more than 50% of Bulgarians live in family unions without marriage, and raise their children peacefully. Will they be next on lists for people who have an “unconventional cohabitation”?
“Today we are persecuting 800 teachers, tomorrow they may be artists because of their roles, or journalists because they express an opinion, people with non-Bulgarian names or other religions. The only countries where morality is enforced by law are the Islamic sharia with extremist Islam,” emphasized the PP.
“There’s hardly any point in pretending we don’t understand what it’s all about. The Teacher Penalties Bill, the Foreign Agents Bill and the lists today clearly indicate the direction. Systematic efforts for another sharp division of the Bulgarian society because of invented threats. Thus hiding much bigger and real problems on which we should be working together from all parties. For children and youth – the fight against the spread of drugs, aggression and bullying at school,” the party states.
