Polish minister of education, Roman Giertych, a leader of fascist party League of Polish Families (LPR), takes up a general assault on youth rights and liberties.
This is why Polish youth needs your help. Otherwise similar measures can be taken in other countries as well, and this process has already been commenced, for example in France and the U.S.A.
There is a massive Catholic indoctrination in Polsih schools, and silencing all dissenters, especially in higher secondary schools, but in lower secondary and primary schools as well. Fascist organizations like Pan-Polish Youth (MW) that is affiliated with LPR, however, are generously welcome.
This state of affairs caused that some Polish pupils organized themselves in the fall of 2005 and established Pupils' Initiative (IU) - a grassroots, non-hierarchical, self-managed organization with the aims of students' self-management at every school, cancelling indoctrination and abolishing notes. Through protests and demonstrations IU succeeded in ousting two successive ministers of education from the ruling right-wing party Law and Justice (PiS): Michał Seweryński and Jarosław Zieliński.
However, in May of 2006 Law and Justice established a coalition with extreme rightist party, League of Polish Families. Its leader, Roman Giertych, beacame a Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education.
Roman Giertych is a grandson of Jędrzej Giertych, an explicit Polish fascist of the interwar period. Jędrzej Giertych was a radical anti-Jew and pogromist. He praised Hitler for his strong rule in Germany and suppressing regional separatisitic tendencies (also in regions with considerable Polish or Slavic minorities!). His son, and father of the current minister, Maciej Giertych, a pseudo-scientist (genetician), supported communist military junta of the 1980s in crushing the labour movement. Now he is a member of the European Parliament and is occupied with combating the theory of evolution, what is viewed as a shame by the whole Polish science.
Roman Giertych himself is a founder of Pan-Polish Youth, a fascist but cowardly para-military organization. He is also supposed by the reliable sources to be a boss of Opus Dei in Poland. When he became a minister, Opus Dei invented "Beniamin", a computer programme that bars minors at home and at schools from dissident webpages. Giertych ordered to install it in all school computers.
The Pupils' Initiative immediately took up an enormous effort to oust Giertych. There were many demonstrations in Warsaw and other towns, some with 1000 participants. Once a group of teenagers overrode police barriers and occupied the Ministry building for a couple of hours. In June many students didn't attend schools in order to show their protest. A group of graduates gathered 140 000 signatures for dismissal of Giertych. Currently the IU works in the grassroots to organize a school strike on the pattern of the strike at schools during the 1905 revolution.
These actions met with massive repressions by the Ministry. Roman Giertych wants to abolish almost all youth rights and freedoms. He decided that in 2007 there will be established Centers of Educational Support (OWW), concentration camp-like schools run by retired army officers, where a pupil can go for a slightest misbehaviour (including political defiance) even for a couple of years. There will be curfews at night and at hours of lessons, dress codes and continuous presence of the police at schools, ban on various forms of expression, on individual leaving school buildings and even more brainwashing (Polish teachers are already afraid to teach Darwin theory not to lose their job).
The situation of Polish youth is now even worse than it was in the years of the communist dictatorship. Therefore Polish students need your help. You can:
- organize demonstrations at Polish embassies and consulates,
- send protest mail to Polish governmental agencies,
- send protests to UEFA that Euro'2012 not be organized in Poland and the Ukraine because of extreme anti-youth policies,
- organize a boycott of Polish products,
- wear T-shirts with printed "Poland violates youth rights" or "Boycott Polish products" or something else,
- advise your friends not to visit Poland, to diminish profits from tourism.
