Defund Science, Distort Culture, Mock Education
It’s not just about cuts to research. It’s about power.
Those cuts to science, culture, medicine? They aren't just about research, they are about power.

Buzu sobanın üstüne bırakıyor, erimesini izliyorsun. Bir iki değil. Dünya listelerinde Türkiye’deki üniversiteler hep geriliyor. Bu yokuş aşağı gidiş
“Masonik-FETÖ’cü-Marksist cephe”buluşunu yapan, hocaların okuldan uzaklaşmasını sağlayan soruşturmacı Mesut Aygün dekan olarak atandı.
Eşi Gözde Çağlayan Aygün’ün makalesinde intihal yaptığı ortaya çıktı.
Herkes doğal olarak şunu sordu: Peki şimdi ne olacak?

Trump Pulls Out of Global Climate Treaty
The White House doesn’t care about environment, health or suffer of people. Peace, justice, cooperation or prosperity are not among its priorities.
Not even the great legacy of US to global governance.
And they spell it out.

How Europe can win the 'culture war'
If Europe wants to remain a symbol of democratic, open spaces, it must defend its values not only with hard power but with imagination and empathy. This means positioning culture at the heart of EU policy.

New Czech PM Babiš is poised to aggravate Brussels’ populist headache
Andrej Babiš could find common cause with Hungary’s Viktor Orbán and Slovakia’s Robert Fico on several issues.
Czechia's new prime minister, Andrej Babiš, has the EU on edge.
Combined with Hungary’s Viktor Orbán and Slovakia’s Robert Fico, Babiš has the potential to jam up the legislative machinery in Brussels as it works on key files.

Can Germany stop extremism by banning a far-right party? Some want to try.
Banning Alternative for Germany, a far-right party, might seem undemocratic but Germany’s constitution allows such prohibitions to prevent a repeat of Nazism.
Some people in Germany want to ban the Alternative for Germany, a far-right party, to prevent a repeat of Nazism.
“We cannot be unserious about preventing this kind of thing,” Ralf Stegner, a social democrat, said.

The ‘Danish model’ is the darling of centre-left parties like Labour. The problem is, it doesn’t even work in Denmark | Cas Mudde
This week’s local elections are the latest reminder that when social democrats move rightwards, they’re making a mistake, says academic and author Cas Mudde
After more than 10 years of “the Danish Model”, nativism is hegemonic in the country, the far right polls near level highs again, and the Social Democrats lost Copenhagen and poll at historic low.
European Social Democrats should look at the facts, not the myths!

Adalet davası uzaktaki bir çığlığı duymakla başlar. Geçen hafta bu köşede İstanbul’daki bir okulda yaşananları okudunuz. Eğitimin halinin acı resmiydi
Öğretmenlerin anlattığına göre açığa çıkan buzdağının görünen yüzüydü. Okulda 38 öğrenci tacize-istismara uğradığını anlatıyordu. 11’i öğretmenin fiziki temasına uğradığını söylüyordu. En az dördünde olay çok daha ileri gitmişti.
