The part where he calls diversity and inclusion a destructive ideology or radical indoctrination. I wouldn't want my education officials saying stuff like that.
It's just bizarre.
"Inclusivity promotes division!"
He did not call it that. Don’t bent his words. And there are problems in American universities from both sides. When researchers in universities are forced to write essays how their physics or chemistry research advances diversity and inclusion, there is something wrong with that too.
I believe you are in the EU, where Viktor Orban has run Hungary for 13 years. You have no room to talk.
If the US has to answer for its constituent states, so does the EU.
The US is a country of its own with internal states, like Germany also has internal states.
The EU is not a country. You cannot compare the EU and US like this.
You mean that you don't want to compare them, not that it can't be done.
US citizens outside of Florida have no impact on electing Florida's government officials. Federal law doesn't affect their elections because they have a state constitution. In many ways the EU is similar to the federal system in the US. Where do you think they got the idea?
