Unhinged Hungarian Government to ban Gender Studies on fake grounds they are 'useless' to the country's so-called job market

Sounds like I need to move to Hungary. Pics of what there women look like?

Inevitable blowback top this ridiculous there are dozens of different genders nonsense being pushed down our throats by The Gay Lobby

LRC should ban Gender Postings on fake grounds they are 'useless' to runners...

Talking about Hungary, they have an interesting "solution" to the problem of illegal immigrants.

Ideally, none of the universities get any government money, and the government would have absolutely NO say in what the university does. Since the schools likely do get government aid (tax money taken from the people), it is absolutely fair for the government to have a say in what they teach.

Since the only purpose of a gender studies degree is to train people for political activism, either in the academy or elsewhere, then it makes no sense for the people's tax money to fund a particular political ideology.

America should do the same as Hungary. Either stop University aid, and let the schools do whatever they want. Or keep funding them, but stop letting millions in tax payer dollars go to fund radically leftist ideologues who despise the very people whose taxes are funding their agenda.

And people claim a wall wouldn't work.

USA universities should each have at least 87 different Gender Studies departments, or however many FaceBook tells us they should have.

The issue of gender studies was not on the agenda of the government’s meeting, because there are much more important topics, a government source told ATV.hu on Monday.

On Monday, Deputy Prime Minister Zsolt Semjen told ATV.hu that „nobody wants to employ a genderologist, so no such course is necessary”.

Immigrants are not starving to reach Hungary, but only to pass through the country on their way to Western Europe at most.

This crazed right wing gov't is not closing out gender studies because it costs money or results in few jobs (in fact, the unemployment level of college graduates, no matter the subject, is far, far lower than that of high school graduates), but because it is politically dangerous, same reason as the attack on the humanities in the United States.

I've long said that the US student loan system should implement rules on what degrees are allowed to receive student loans. Gender studies would be one that should NOT be allowed to use student loans. Meaning, students must use cash or the field must provide scholarships. If the field does not provide scholarships, then the discipline disappears and that would be an indication that the field is useless if it can't afford to support a few students.

This would be a meritocracy. The disciplines that yield the most money will exist and those that do not will disappear.

Part of this idea came from seeing students with Bachelors degrees from top 10 universities end up with $80k in student loans and a Starbucks barista. It is in my opinion irresponsible for a university to provide degrees that are valued the same (or less) than a high school diploma. That said, if you want pay cash (or your parents want to pay cash) then you should be allowed to study anything; such as gender studies.

The idea that universities and their programs exist only for the purpose of job training is laughably fallacious. That was NEVER the idea historically. You can thank good old Reagan for first giving mainstream publicity to this garbage idea in the ‘60s. Republicans to this day strive to uphold his legacy of anti-intellectualism.

The world has turned and left you here. Catch up. Things have changed.

Wow! That's great news! Finally we are starting to see leadership that care about their own people. This is a trend that will will hopefully continue.

So what about Afro-American studies?? Watch your micro-aggressions, bro. Bernie will free us all from the time of racist oppression.

Some of the hottest, sexiest babes in Europe. Great beer, too.

The Central European nation of Hungary on Saturday signed into law a ban on ‘gender studies’ programs at Hungarian universities, angering ‘progressive’ forces in the country and sparking howls of media outrage. “This is a major infringement on academic freedom and university autonomy,” said the Budapest-based Central European University (CEU) in a statement. The university was formed by Leftist Hungarian financier George Soros.

“Eliminating this programme will be a significant loss to the Hungarian scholarly community and for democratically-minded public policy,” reported AFP.

Orban’s deputy Zsolt Semjen said later gender studies “has no business (being taught) in universities,” because it is “an ideology not a science”.

Labour market demand for gender studies graduates was also “close to zero,” as “no-one wants to employ a gender-ologist,” Semjen said, added AFP.

Students will no longer be enrolled in the programs but those already started may finish their ‘degree’.

Thank gawd this isn't in America, where you can design your own program in ortho-pansexual navel-gazing studies.

Finally, some folks are attempting to reclaim (a small portion of) the academy from the Leftist nutjobs that run it. Eliminate gender studies departments because they are actively harmful to civilized society.

This bloke, calls himself a ‘doctor’, is predictably a PhD in ‘gender studies. Must have skin as thick as a rhinoceros, because he had the nerve to enter and win a women’s cycle race.
