Pepijn van Houwelingen wrote that a father had freed his son from a group home in Spain, where the boy was allegedly tortured by child protection services. He mentioned that the Salvation Army had reported the father and that the father had been convicted by a judge. He also wrote that the Salvation Army had informed him the week before that members of parliament were not welcome at discussions with parents, not even at the request of those parents; he called that suspicious. Van Houwelingen stated that the minister and the inspection were doing nothing and that the minister trusted the involved institutions. According to him, the inspection could not supervise placements abroad. He criticized the House of Representatives, which he referred to as the "Sleeping Chamber," because it had repeatedly rejected motions against placing children abroad and for oversight by the inspection and members of parliament. He wrote that the Chamber would vote on Tuesday on a motion that aimed to give parents the right to prohibit the placement of their children abroad against their will. In that context, he asked Lisa Westerveld, Marijke Synhaeve, and Ruud Verkuijlen for their opinion. https://t.co/W6kCiYwnPn👇 #jeugdbescherming #kindermishandeling #ouderrechten (translated)

Els van Veen wrote that people in the Netherlands who questioned mainstream narratives were met with fierce condemnation, negative articles in national newspapers, and damage to their reputations, according to her. She mentioned, among others, Dr. Jan van de Beek and Ir. Wouter de Heij, stating that this was not only happening around immigration but also in discussions about climate, Russia, and other subjects. Van Veen referred to former General Van Kappen, who, according to her, spoke on television about an information war in which everyone participated. She wrote that critics were often ignored when it later turned out that their questions were justified. She claimed to have experienced this herself when she asked questions about the corona policy: she received threatening letters from the Inspection and became the subject of negative articles in national newspapers. She stated that those who had reported her to the Inspection at the time were now silent, while, according to her, new narratives were emerging. Van Veen expressed her admiration for Van de Beek and De Heij. According to her, they made it clear what the consequences were when narratives were protected and critics were combated, instead of pursuing policies that centered on the well-being of the Dutch people. She wrote that the internet had ensured that their viewpoints could be heard. #informatieoorlog #narratieven #vrijeopinie (translated)

Max von Kreyfelt proposed a compulsory integration course for D66 in his column. According to him, the party spoke excellent Dutch, but still needed to learn how to deal with people who have different beliefs. He referred to Jan Paternotte, who mentioned the Renaissanceschool associated with Forum for Democracy in the Chamber and asked for stricter rules for new schools. According to Von Kreyfelt, Rob Jetten had advocated for a swift evaluation and possible legislative changes. The proposed course would, according to Von Kreyfelt, include lessons on civil rights, freedom of education, diversity, democracy, and equal rights. He wrote that citizens should be allowed to think independently and vote for other parties, and that a political background in itself was not an offense. Regarding Jetten's statements on October 9 about taking stronger action against certain schools and online channels where, in his view, young people were learning incorrect ideas about equal rights, Von Kreyfelt noted that Jetten had not mentioned the Renaissanceschool. As an exam task, Von Kreyfelt described a parent who wanted to pass on different beliefs to their child than D66. According to him, a student would succeed with an answer that did not involve inspection, improvement processes, or legislative changes. He concluded that D66 needed to learn that a free society also existed without its permission. #Inburgering #Diversiteit #Democratie (translated)

Max von Kreyfelt wrote that D66, in his opinion, put pressure on the Renaissanceschool, which is linked to Forum voor Democratie. He pointed out that D66 MP Jan Paternotte had mentioned the school in the House of Representatives because of announced separate curricula for boys and girls, and had called for stricter rules for new schools. According to Von Kreyfelt, Rob Jetten had urged for a quick evaluation and possible amendments to the law. Von Kreyfelt also wrote that Jetten had announced on October 9 that he would investigate how to take tougher action against schools, weekend schools, and online channels where, according to Jetten, young people were learning incorrect views about equal rights. The columnist emphasized that Jetten had not mentioned the Renaissanceschool in this context. He argued that the education inspectorate should investigate what was actually happening at the school and that a political background alone was not evidence of violations. According to him, Paternotte had stated that Article 23 remained intact. Von Kreyfelt wondered whether Jetten wanted to address verifiable violations or tighten general rules because a political competitor was taking advantage of them. https://t.co/V2P6pFuNy1 #onderwijs #vrijheid #D66 (translated)
