Regarding the current debate on sex education, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in his latest “samizdat” letter: “Liberals say that children should be given awareness-raising publications to educate them about heterosexuality and homosexuality, as well as stating it as their right to deviate from their assigned gender and to undergo sex-change operations.
In their view children can be educated about those issues without parental consent and without state restrictions.” Non-liberal democrats, however, see the sex education of children as the right of the parent. “Neither the state, political parties, NGOs nor rainbow activists can play a role without their consent.” “Rainbow countries have the right to move beyond the binary social arrangement based on man-woman and mother-father relations,” he said. “Whether it is better to live in a binary or a rainbow world … is a question on which both sides have their own opinion … But from the point of view of law, international law, EU law and the Charter of Fundamental Rights, the right position is beyond doubt. Migration is not a human right, and how a child is brought up sexually is not a child’s human right. There is no such human right. Instead, there is Article 14 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights on the right of parents to ensure that their child is provided with an appropriate upbringing,” Orbán said. “If we want to keep the European Union together, liberals must respect the rights of non-liberals. Unity in diversity. That is the future.”
