Education minister hit out for homophobic comments

Critics have slammed Dariusz Piontkowski, Poland’s education minister, for saying “I do not agree that left-wing organizations use homosexual propaganda in schools.”

On October 14, in an interview for Radio Gdańsk, he said that “schools are trying to allow parents to bring their children up in accordance with their beliefs.” Most Poles are Christians, Catholics and they want their child at school to be safe not only in terms of physicality but also in terms of ideology and outlook, he added.

Critics took to Twitter to call out the minister, who is known for defending an official who warned that the “LGBT virus is much more dangerous” to Polish schools than the coronavirus.
