Netherlands: Reading penalty proposal not respecting homosexuality!

The Dutch Parliament wants the punishment of primary and secondary schools that do not inform their students about homosexuality.

After the attack on two homosexual men walking hand in hand in Arnhem, the issue of sexual discrimination came to the fore again.

The Socialist Party proposed that sex differences be more effectively taught in schools to prevent discrimination.

Since 2012 in Holland, it is compulsory for primary and middle school students to be informed about homosexuality and sexual diversity.


However, investigations have revealed that schools do not obey this rule.

• The Netherlands had a 'men's hand' campaign.

It was requested by the Socialist Party to punish schools that did not inform their students about homosexuality.

The proposal received the support of the majority of parliaments. Possible coalition partners Green Left Party and Democrats 66 Parties also supported the proposal for the punishment of schools that did not inform students about homosexuality.

The proposal only opposed the government partner, the Liberal Right Party (VVD) and the Christian Democratic Party (CDA), who promised compulsory education on discrimination against homosexuals in the electoral program.

The council also wanted to emphasize respect for different sexual choices in secondary vocational schools where sexual discrimination is most visible.

On the increase in sexual discrimination incidents, three middle-level vocational schools have begun to inform students on this issue.

Parliament wants it to be a positive step and to be implemented in all vocational schools across the country.
