Dick Black let the board have it with both barrels in his brief turn at the microphone. He began by addressing the case of Christian teacher Tanner Cross, who had been suspended after telling the board at a previous hearing that he would not address boys as girls and vice versa.After Mr. Cross filed a lawsuit with the help of Alliance Defending Freedom, he was reinstated, but school officials appealed the judge’s ruling. They still want to make an example of Mr. Cross.Mr. Black got right to the point after introducing himself. I include his full remarks as a guide for parents in how to confront their local commissars:"You retaliated against Tanner Cross by yanking him from teaching for addressing a public hearing of this board. The judge ordered you to reinstate Mr. Cross because if his comments were not protected speech, then free speech does not exist at all."Voice rising, he continued: "It’s absurd and immoral for teachers to call boys girls and girls boys. You’re making teachers lie to students and even kids know that it’s wrong."This board has a dark history of suppressing free speech. They caught you red-handed with an enemies list to punish opponents of critical race theory.  You’re teaching children to hate others because of their skin color and you’re forcing them to lie about other kids’ gender. I am disgusted by your bigotry and your depravity." The crowd erupted in applause.At that point, the chairwoman cut him off. He’d had his 72 seconds, 12 more than allotted. The board then voted unanimously to cancel further public comment. This angered many of the parents, some of whom refused to leave, including a man who was arrested for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. It’s no wonder that Fightforschools.com is fast gathering recall signatures.The parents’ revolt isn’t just happening in public schools. At Manhattan’s exclusive Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School and The Dalton School, parents discovered that their children were being subjected to "Pornography Literacy: An intersectional focus on mainstream porn."The slide presentation "included lessons on how porn takes care of ‘three big male vulnerabilities’; statistics on the ‘orgasm gap’ showing straight women have far fewer orgasms with their partners than gay men or women; and photos of partially-nude women, some in bondage, to analyze ‘what is porn and what is art,’" according to the New York Post.These kinds of sex-obsessed "educators" used to hang around schoolyards in raincoats full of candy in their pockets. Now, they’re in the classrooms with the blessing of school authorities.One cartoon video aimed at young children features explicit sexual terms and explains male and female masturbation."We are furious," a mother at Dalton told The Post. "We were horrified to learn this was shown to our first grade 6- and 7-year-old kids without our knowledge or consent. But it’s so hard to fight back because you’ll get canceled and your child will suffer."She might want to consider a change. Faced with the parents’ revolt, the Columbia superintendent issued an apology and a promise to keep better track of what’s going on. By contrast, a Dalton spokesperson said, "These videos align with nationally recognized methodologies and standards."Some of the parents discovered the "porn literacy" class during Zoom instruction.  One of the silver linings of the pandemic has been parents’ ability to see the Marxist brainwashing occurring at many schools. It’s prompted a record number of families to homeschool their children or place them in religious schools that reject leftist educational trends.Others are rising up to fight the system. In California, which has had "comprehensive sex ed" in elementary schools for years, a group of mothers protested outside the office of state Sen. Connie M. Leyva, who chairs the Senate Education Committee and the Senate Democratic Caucus. She backs explicit sex ed curricula that includes descriptions of how to engage in manual stimulation and oral sex. The children are also taught about gender identity, sexual orientation and sexual techniques during other school subjects that have no opt-out provision.Asked about the parents’ concerns, she blew it off: "There’s nothing in there that is not age appropriate."Representing Pomona and several other cities in the "Inland Empire," Ms. Leyva says she plans to run for re-election in 2022, and then run for state school superintendent in 2026.That’s a big job. California has more than six million children in its K-12 public system in over 10,000 schools. What happens there tends to affect the rest of the nation eventually, for good or ill.Given that left-wing Democrats like Ms. Leyva dominate California, it isn’t too hard to predict what’s going to happen in the government schools. More critical race theory. More explicit, LGBTQ-heavy sex education. More needed therapeutic programs dealing with student depression and substance abuse. More parents fleeing the system and even the state.Those that stay need to fight hard to keep their children safe from Marxist indoctrination in places like California, New York and Loudoun County, Virginia.A parents’ revolution is underway. If the Republicans figure out how to assist them and harness this energy (see Sen. Black for details), we may yet see our liberty preserved.o Robert Knight is a contributor to the Washington Times.

Here are our posts about her story: ...Not only did the full weight of the public educational establishment come down on her, but so did the South Kingstown chapter of the National Education Association, according to documents Solas obtained and posted on Facebook, showing she was the subject of an emergency union meeting, including the slides below allegedly showed on a screen during a union meeting:The teachers union, NEASK (National Education Association – South Kingstown), held an emergency meeting on June 8 to target and bully me – a parent. These are the leaked slides presented to 250 teachers who didn’t bat an eyelash at formally organizing to target a parent who made public record requests at the direction of the school.Now Solas has some high-powered legal help.

Yet across the country, it’s far more difficult than it should be for parents to find out what, exactly, is being taught in the classroom. Today, the Goldwater Institute is taking action on behalf of one conscientious parent who just wants to know what her daughter is learning.When Nicole Solas’ daughter was starting kindergarten, she sought information from Rhode Island’s South Kingstown School Department about what was going to be taught in her daughter’s classroom. Nicole was especially concerned that some controversial materials, including some on racially charged topics and gender theory, would be presented to her young child.She submitted an official request under her state’s public records law, which was created in order to make public information available to the public so citizens can know what their government is up to.Yet despite her repeated requests, Nicole could get no answers from the Department. Several of her requests were denied outright. In other instances, the Department sought to charge Nicole onerous fees. And although the Department itself had instructed Nicole to submit formal records requests—rather than simply answering the questions of a concerned parent—the Department threatened to sue her to prevent her from accessing public information.That is not the way the law should work. The purpose of public records laws are to open government operations to the public, and the presumption is that all public information will be disclosed. Citizens should never be threatened or punished for seeking public information in good faith.After nearly three months of delay and gamesmanship, the Department has still not provided Nicole much of the information she is seeking regarding classroom instruction. So the Goldwater Institute is stepping in. On Nicole’s behalf, we have submitted a new public records request to ensure that she can access the information she is entitled to about how her daughter is educated. The Institute will hold the Department accountable if it seeks to evade the law or shield information from disclosure.Sadly, this is not the first time school officials have tried to penalize parents for requesting information they’re entitled to. Goldwater Institute attorneys previously defended parents who were also sued by a school district in Arizona that did not want to turn over public information about their children’s education. (The Institute prevailed in both the trial court and the court of appeals, where the district’s baseless action against the parents was dismissed.)Our children’s education should not be a government secret. And school officials should never abuse the law to intimidate parents or keep them in the dark. Nicole and other parents like her have a legal and moral right to know what their children will be taught this fall—and it should not take a lawyer to get that information.Jon Riches is the Director of National Litigation at the Goldwater Institute.(4) America's largest Teachers' Union votes to enforce Critrical Race Theory in schoolshttps://www.theepochtimes.com/mkt_breakingnews/largest-teachers-union-votes-to-help-members-fight-back-against-anti-crt-rhetoric_3886261.htmlAmerica's Largest Teachers' Union Votes to Help Members 'Fight Back Against Anti-CRT Rhetoric'BY GQ PANJuly 4, 2021 Updated: July 4, 2021The largest labor and teachers' union has voted to spread and further the teaching of the quasi-Marxist critical race theory (CRT), which it describes as a "reasonable" and "appropriate" framework for students to understand and interpret America's past and present.The National Education Association (NEA), which represents more than 3 million employees in public education, on June 30 kicked off its 100th Representative Assembly. During the four-day online convention, the union adopted a measure that would commit at least $127,600 to advance its pro-CRT agenda.According to the plan, the NEA will share and publicize information about "what CRT is and what it is not," dedicate a "team of staffers" to assist union members who "want to learn more and fight back against anti-CRT rhetoric," and provide a study that critiques "power and oppression" in American society, including "white supremacy," "cisheteropatriarchy," and capitalism.The union also declared that it opposes attempts to ban CRT and the New York Times' highly controversial "1619 Project," which recasts American history on the claim that the United States was founded, and remains today, a racist nation.In addition, the measure calls for an "accurate and honest" teaching of "unpleasant aspects of American history," and affirms that CRT is an appropriate framework for educators to address those topics."The Association will further convey that in teaching these topics, it is reasonable and appropriate for curriculum to be informed by academic frameworks for understanding and interpreting the impact of the past on current society, including critical race theory," the measure reads on NEA's website.The vote comes after the NEA approved another measure, which seeks to "research the organizations attacking educators doing anti-racist work" and put together "a list of resources and recommendations for state affiliates, locals, and individual educators to utilize when they are attacked.""The research, resources, and recommendations will be shared with members through NEA's social media, an article in NEA Today, and a recorded virtual presentation/webinar," it says. The item was approved with an initial annual budget of $56,500.The reason behind the measure, according to the NEA's website, it that the "attacks on anti-racist teachers are increasing, coordinated by well-funded organizations such as the Heritage Foundation," and that the union needs to be "better prepared to respond to these attacks so that our members can continue this important work."The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank based in Washington, has been hosting vocal opponents of CRT, including author and filmmaker Christopher Rufo, who has written extensively to expose the CRT's Marxist origins, how critical race theorists seek to undermine the foundations of American society, and how the ideology infiltrates schools, businesses, and government agencies."The national teachers union is funding an attack machine against me, @Gundisalvus, and our allies," Rufo wrote on Twitter in response to the NEA vote, tagging Mike Gonzalez, a senior fellow at The Heritage Foundation. "We were born for this fight—and will show no mercy to the corrupt ideologues who are ruining American education.

Child mortality of traditional peoples was high under the age of 5, and especially under age 1. I studied this topic in Anthropology. - Peter M.From: Denis McC <wizard_of_aus@hotmail.com>NYT via Amren: UN inspired globo Abo./Indig. drivel advancing...https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/17/world/canada/indigenous-kamloops-graves.htmlIndigenous People Advance a Dramatic Goal: Reversing ColonialismFifty years of patient advocacy, including the shocking discovery of a mass burial site at Kamloops, have secured once-unthinkable gains.By Max FisherPublished June 17, 2021Updated June 28, 2021When an Indigenous community in Canada announced recently that it had discovered a mass burial site with the remains of 215 children, the location rang with significance.Not just because it was on the grounds of a now-shuttered Indian Residential School, whose forcible assimilation of Indigenous children a 2015 truth and reconciliation report called "a key component of a Canadian government policy of cultural genocide."That school is in Kamloops, a city in British Columbia from which, 52 years ago, Indigenous leaders started a global campaign to reverse centuries of colonial eradication and reclaim their status as sovereign nations.Their effort, waged predominantly in courts and international institutions, has accumulated steady gains ever since, coming further than many realize.It has brought together groups from the Arctic to Australia. Those from British Columbia, in Canada’s mountainous west, have been at the forefront throughout.Only two years ago, the provincial government there became the world’s first to adopt into law United Nations guidelines for heightened Indigenous sovereignty. On Wednesday, Canada’s Parliament passed a law, now awaiting a final rubber stamp, to extend those measures nationwide.It was a stunning victory, decades in the making, that activists are working to repeat in New Zealand — and, perhaps one day, in more recalcitrant Australia, Latin America and even the United States."There’s been a lot of movement in the field. It’s happening with different layers of courts, with different legislatures," said John Borrows, a prominent Canadian legal scholar and a member of the Chippewa of the Nawash Unceded First Nation.The decades-long push for sovereignty has come with a rise in activism, legal campaigning and historical reckonings like the discovery at Kamloops. All serve the movement’s ultimate aim, which is nothing less than overturning colonial conquests that the world has long accepted as foregone. ...In 1960, world governments near-unanimously backed a United Nations declaration calling to roll back colonialism. European nations began withdrawing overseas, often under pressure from the Cold War powers.But the declaration excluded the Americas, Australia and New Zealand, where colonization was seen as too deep-rooted to reverse. It was taken as effectively announcing that there would be no place in the modern world for Indigenous peoples.Then, at the end of the decade, Canada’s progressive government issued a fateful "white paper" announcing that it would dissolve colonial-era policies, including reserves, and integrate Indigenous peoples as equal citizens. It was offered as emancipation. ...To the government’s shock, Indigenous groups angrily rejected the proposal. Like the United Nations declaration, it implied that colonial-era conquests were to be accepted as forgone.Indigenous leaders gathered in Kamloops to organize a response. British Columbia was a logical choice. Colonial governments had never signed treaties with its original inhabitants, unlike in other parts of Canada, giving special weight to their claim to live under illegal foreign occupation."It’s really Quebec and British Columbia that have been the two epicenters, going back to the ’70s," said Jérémie Gilbert, a human rights lawyer who works with Indigenous groups. Traditions of civil resistance run deep in both.The Kamloops group began what became a campaign to impress upon the world that they were sovereign peoples with the rights of any nation, often by working through the law.They linked up with others around the world, holding the first meeting of The World Council of Indigenous Peoples on Vancouver Island. Its first leader, George Manuel, had passed through the Kamloops residential school as a child.The council’s charter implicitly treated countries like Canada and Australia as foreign powers. It began lobbying the United Nations to recognize Indigenous rights. ...{comment by DMC): ...largely thanks to Jewish influence guiding the mostly gutless compliance of msm and our elected, cringing politiciansComment by Peter M: There are about 200 nations recognised by the UN, partipating in the UN General assembly. Most of the big ones have a number of minorities who want to secede. e.g. China, India, Indonesia, Myanmar. Even small nations like the Solomon Islands have had bitter civil wars. Sri Lanka's was on a bigger scale. Papua New Guina had a terrible civil war over Bougainville. Eritrea and Ethiopia are currently enmeshed in ethnic wars. If all the ethnicities that want separation were given nationhood, the 200 nations would swell to 1000, then 5000. Such splits would spill copious blood. Imagine a train timetable for a train running across India, an India split into 5 or 10 hostile regions. It would not be possible. A world of so many nations could only be run by a World Government. Yet, if citizens find the current crop of politicians remote and unresponsive, this would be much moreso in the case of a World Government.(6) Canada censors incorrect opinions as "Hate speech"; Refusal to use Trans pronouns deemed a crimehttps://www.rt.com/op-ed/527682-trudeau-hate-speech-freedom/Trudeau government’s move to ‘protect Canadians against hate speech & hate crimes’ is road to hell for freedom of expressionLauren Chen26 Jun, 2021 15:42Many Canadians consider their country to be a free one, but unfortunately the Trudeau government is moving toward levels of censorship and control over language that should gravely concern those who support freedom of expression. ...In 2016, one of the first warnings that free speech in Canada was in danger came in the form of Bill C-16, An Act to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code. Supporters of the law assured Canadians that the bill simply aimed to add gender expression and gender identity as protected grounds against discrimination.However, despite this seemingly innocuous intention, Canadian professor of psychology Jordan Peterson, who first rose to prominence because of his opposition to the bill, quickly realized that by protecting gender identity and expression, Bill C-16 was in practice an attempt to legislate compelled speech. ‘Correct’ pronoun usage was already becoming the norm on college campuses, like the University of Toronto where Peterson taught. With Bill C-16, Peterson believed that Canadians could soon face a reality where using the incorrect pronouns to refer to someone would be considered discrimination against their gender identity.Critics famously dismissed Dr. Peterson’s perspective as the railings of a paranoid bigot, assuring the public that compelled speech was not a provision of the bill.In June of 2017, Bill C-16 became law in Canada.In March of 2021, a father was arrested and held in contempt of court for refusing to use his daughter’s preferred pronouns, and for opposing the child’s gender transition in a bitter legal battle with his daughter’s mother. ...(7) Canada wants to fine people up to $50,000 for "online hate speech"https://reclaimthenet.org/canada-wants-to-fine-people-up-to-50000-for-online-hate-speech/June 29, 2021Canada wants to fine people up to $50,000 for "online hate speech"Canada's proposals would make it one of the most oppressive nations when it comes to free expression.By Dan FriethPosted 8:12 amThe "Liberal" Canadian government plans to pass a law that criminalizes so-called online "hate speech," with the punishment being fines of ranging from $20,000 to $50,000. The law only punishes social media users, it does not punish the platforms hosting the alleged hate speech and will introduce a new definition of "hate" that is yet to be revealed.The law criminalizes online hate speech, with first time offenders getting a fine of C$20,000 (about US$16,200) and second time offenders getting a fine of C$50,000 (about US$40,500).According to Canada’s Attorney General David Lametti, the proposed law targets extreme forms of hatred, which "expresses detestation or vilification of a person or group on the basis of a prohibited ground of discrimination," not "simple expressions of dislike or disdain.""Hate speech directly contradicts the values underlying freedom of expression and our Charter of Rights," Lametti added. "It threatens the safety and well-being of its targets. It silences and intimidates, especially when the target is a vulnerable person or community. When hate speech spreads, its victims lose their freedom to participate in civil society online."While announcing the proposed law the government released a statement explaining its intended goals. Per the statement, the proposed law, dubbed Bill C-36, will amend the Canadian Human Rights Act to define a new discriminatory practice of communicating hate speech online and add a definition of "hatred" to section 319 of the Criminal Code based on Supreme Court of Canada decisions.The government also announced that it would publish a "detailed technical discussion paper" in the near future to explain the proposed law in detail. ...(8) Marxists in Canada tear down statues of Queens Victoria & Elizabeth II; crowds chanted 'no pride in genocide'https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/07/queen-victoria-queen-elizabeth-ii-statues-torn-down-in-canada/Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth II Statues Torn Down in CanadaThe police stood by and did nothing as people vandalized and tore down the statues.

Parents shouldn’t be made to feel guilty about disciplining their kids.I’ve learnt to be sceptical about so-called studies that suggest that smacking children should be banned because it makes youngsters more aggressive and antisocial. The latest, by academics from the UK’s University College London (UCL), echoes this claim.The lead author, Dr Anja Heilmann, contends that "we see a definitive link between physical punishment and behavioural problems such as aggression and antisocial behaviour."So, what do we actually know about the consequences of smacking children? Opponents claim that research conclusively demonstrates that it has long-term negative effects on their behaviour. This is the nub of the UCL report.From my own study for my book ‘Paranoid Parenting’, I’ve concluded that there may be good arguments for opposing smacking, but they are not to be found in the scientific research.Despite dozens of studies on the subject, nobody has yet established a causal relationship between smacking and long-term negative behaviour. Indeed, there is some evidence suggesting that, in certain circumstances, smacking can be an effective disciplinary tool. For example, psychologist Diana Baumrind concluded that, in the context of a warm family relationship, the occasional smack is an effective and legitimate way of gaining a child’s obedience.There is also evidence that, in certain situations, a smack can be an effective disciplinary tool. The psychologist Robert Larzelere published a major review and concluded there was no convincing evidence that the non-abusive spanking typically used by parents damaged their offspring. His work found that no other disciplinary technique – including time-outs and withdrawal of privileges – was more effective than smacking for gaining the compliance of children aged under 13. ...(10) Feminists take over Criminal Justice Systemhttps://www.bettinaarndt.com.au/news/weaponizing-our-criminal-justice-system-against-men/WEAPONIZING OUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM AGAINST MENI have a revelation for you – a tribute to the awe-inspiring success of the feminist juggernaut using our justice system to destroy men.Last week there was an important presentation by prominent Sydney barrister Margaret Cunneen. She was speaking at The Presumption of Guilt Conference run by the Rule of Law Education Centre.As many of you know, Cunneen is a woman with impeccable credentials to comment on the criminal justice system. She has spent well over 30 years at the coalface, decades as a crown prosecutor convicting some of our most prominent rapists and other villains and then, as a commissioner in charge of a large child abuse investigation.  Now she’s back at the bar, successfully defending an endless queue of accused men, including many alleged rapists.Her online presentation focussed on the impact of the new sexual consent laws that Attorney General Mark Speakman aims to ram through NSW parliament. Speakman appointed the NSW Law Reform Commission to examine proposed changes to these laws but then ignored their warnings about the injustice that could result and proudly announced he is giving the feminists what they wantFeminist academics have been lobbying for years for a yes means yes affirmative consent model where enthusiastic consent must be given at every stage throughout the sexual encounter. Under the new laws an accused must now prove to have taken active steps to ascertain consent throughout the sexual proceedings. And as Cunneen pointed out, this renders most of the sex most of us have as potentially illegal.A perfect systemBut the main game here is to provide more cannon fodder – a new supply of accused men to face a justice system already weaponised against them.That was the real bombshell in the Cunneen presentation – her expose of the extent to which the feminists have already succeeded in stacking the system by removing the filtering system which once ensured that only rape cases with sufficient evidence went through to trial. Now almost all cases are pushed through into court, where many get thrown out by juries.That means conviction rates go down, inspiring more rage from the feminists, more politicians frothing at the mouth demanding more be done to ensure the safety of women and ever more legal measures to ensure rapists get their comeuppance.It’s just perfect, a carefully calibrated system to ensure the feminist project just keeps gaining more momentum – very like the ever-expanding definition of domestic violence, soon to include "coercive control", which ensures an unending supply of victims and an expanding cash cow as governments pour in funds to address the problem. ...(11) Hungary Told To Repeal Law Banning LGBT Promotion To Children "Or Else Leave EU"https://www.zerohedge.com/political/hungary-told-repeal-law-banning-lgbt-promotion-children-or-else-leave-euBY TYLER DURDENSATURDAY, JUN 26, 2021 - 08:45 AMEU leadership is now fanatically dictating that Hungary and its 'defiant' prime minister Vickor Orban must bow the knee to the Pride Flag or else "must leave" the European Union.Quoting Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, The Telegraph describes massive pushback against a new Hungarian law which seeks to prevent the public promotion of homosexuality and transgenderism in front of children and minors:Mark Rutte, the prime minister of the Netherlands, said Hungary either "must leave" the EU or repeal the law, which bans TV shows and other content seen as championing LGBT lifestyles for the under-18s.However, some eastern European governments refused to join 17 of the bloc’s 27 countries in a rare joint statement condemning a fellow member state.Other EU leaders, like European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen, have been claiming that the law actively discriminates against LGBT people.However, defenders of the Hungarian law have pointed out it puts decision-making on presenting these issues to children in the hands of parents and family members. Orban himself, for example, said the law and policy is fundamentally about "defending the rights of the kids and the parents" and is not about discrimination.Orban said this week at the summit: "Homosexuality was punished, and I fought for their freedom and their rights," concluding that "I am defending the rights of the homosexual guys. But this law is not about that."But the EU summit which met this is acting as if it's a declaration of war on human rights, and is vowing to respond accordingly:Western leaders have said they will bring Hungary "to its knees" over a law banning the promotion of homosexuality in schools at a bitter EU summit on Thursday.Here were Dutch PM Rutte's words threatening to boot Hungary or any country that follows, though the actual power to do so remains a very different question..."My goal is to bring Hungary to its knees on this issue," he said."They must realize that they are either part of the European Union and this community of values, which means that in Hungary… no one can be discriminated against and [everyone] can feel free on grounds of sexuality, skin color, gender whatever."But again Hungary has maintained that it's all about the protection of children at a time that transgender advocates and even certain NGOs operating in Europe and elsewhere in the globe are actively seeking to convince young people to take irreversible steps to alter their bodies through surgeries and be subject to potentially dangerous hormone treatments.Just before the EU summit and these end of week Dutch-Hungary fireworks, a Hungarian spokesman had said:"We stand ready to debate the law with those who have spoken out against it," he told the BBC on Tuesday. "The law is strictly about the protection of children. It says that for minors under 18, sexual education has to be appropriate and what we don’t want is the intrusion of so-called LGBTQ+ lobby NGOs and pressure groups walking into kindergartens and schools to explain to children why it’s a great idea to have hormone treatments and operations to change their sex before they’re 18. These are not acceptable practices."As has been amply documented, in places like the United Kingdom, Canada, and United States, this kind of thing is already happening. ...(12) EU splits over Gay rights (West) vs Parents' rights (East)https://www.spectator.com.au/2021/06/the-eu-is-stoking-the-culture-war-between-east-and-west/The EU is stoking the culture war between East and WestWilliam Nattrass30 June 2021 4:21 PMOther EU countries ‘should not interfere in the affairs of Hungary,’ Czech president Milos? Zeman said on Sunday in support of Viktor Orbán’s controversial new anti-LGBT reforms. As international condemnation of the country’s new LGBT law mounts, Zeman threw his weight behind the Hungarian prime minister, saying he ‘can see no reason to disagree with him’ in his stance on LGBT rights.The Czech president’s words came as the latest blow in the EU’s increasingly bitter culture war between west and east, with blame for the confrontational environment being placed by Brussels on rebel nations such as Hungary and its Visegrád Four ally Poland. Yet the EU is, in fact, now reaping the whirlwind for having introduced a ‘rule of law’ budget instrument which aims to punish non-conformity with its own legal, ethical and cultural norms.In December, the EU attached a rule of law mechanism to its pandemic recovery budget, making it possible for funds to be withheld from nations perceived to be violating the bloc’s core principles.
