I can not even share the text przeczytanym just that - by Thomas P. Terlikowski. Had a big impression on me - and although deals with matters that are not new, and already accustomed to in our part of present consciousness, but this gives you some sort of "look through" the eyes and show that it has arrived, and the "struggle for the soul" ...

"In Praise of Diversity"
>> Dream citizen progressives are sexually educated, well-paid single, with the right (read progressive and consistent with the interests of the mainstream) views in terms of ecology, history, economy, gender equality and the role of state agencies on the upbringing of children (obviously not his, because he - as a man to be - there are no children.) The optimum would also be that it was the androgynous metrosexual type, with no other than the biological characteristics of their gender, open to a variety of experiments in the field of erotic. This description of the new man is obviously exaggerated. So far, no one talks about it directly. But careful observation of events alarm lamp lights up, warning against totalitarianism progressive or "liberal fascism" ((to use the terminology of John Goldberg).
Symptoms are so far small, but visible. Ministry of Education is pushing for parents to send their children to sex education lessons, and one of his officials described the parliamentary committee of parents who do not want (what they are - what to keep in mind - right) that their children are subject to state indoctrination in sexual matters, as "rebels." You can of course say that it was a joke, but - even assuming an extremely optimistic assumption - and it shows so well the thinking of educational officials. Well, their aim is to deprive the parents of the right to education children and sending it to the Ministry. This will gradually convince young people that homosexuality is not a deviation from nature is a real disease, and homophobia; that contraceptives do not have the least side effects and women are the greatest treasure, and, finally, that abortion is the right woman. In most schools still do not implement such programs, but ... Introduction (back door), a mandatory seksedukacji is the first step on the path to politically correct brainwashing our children.
No less dangerous is just a project carried out the murder of the remaining freedom research in the historical sciences. Platformerska policy for the National Remembrance Institute is in fact only one goal (and themselves initiators of the new law does not hide it) - the closure of independent historians paragraphs, which indicate the "council of wise men" from the street Czerska are irrelevant. OP wants to lead to a situation in which one disappears from the last places where you can open text question the importance to the cooperation of Polish history was Lech Walesa, the SB? How many secret service agents were the first non-communist government? Who really is Wojciech Jaruzelski, and how much blood is on your hands?
Freedom of research or even an opinion in Poland, well-illustrated by the case of Paul Zyzaka. The methodology and some elements of his thesis could probably be skeptical, but I do not think the reason is that this young, inquisitive and eager historian can not find work in Poland in his profession, and school superintendents are warning not to employ him because I will have trouble. Fortunately (well for the Polish study) found that Zyzak received a scholarship in the United States, where the hands of Polish worship sacred cows do not reach. Politically correct censorship
also attempts to take control over the media .. Most recently, Thomas Fox in the text, "Virtue and stick" out in "Gazeta Wyborcza" deplored the fact that in Poland there are still "serious media", where you can criticize Senator Christopher Piesiewicz, concluded that homosexuality is not the equal sexual orientation, and even ( horror of horrors!) argue with the Archbishop. Joseph Życiński. This scandalous situation should end, because a poor journalist in 2009 is no longer in Poland to breathe, because any moment now "it sticks antyobywatelski stench of intolerance." What is the output of this situation? Of course, receiving a vote of "Rzeczpospolita", "Avonarolom," "Taliban" and "proponents of virtue." And that means a serious restriction on freedom of expression and opinion - it's not dealt with Lisa, because his goal is not freedom, but ... forcing everyone to think the same way.
And yet - as well put a critic of totalitarianism, the Russian Vasily Grossman (strongly recommend his "Life and fate", which just went on the book market) - "life is dying out there, where violence is trying to erase its unique and peculiar features." Defend the So before the destruction of diversity, including opinion, if we do not want to wake up in a totalitarian political correctness. <<
