A former woke teacher wrote that MP Nicole Moinat described, according to them, an established order that had lost its moral compass. The teacher stated that criminal organizations were recruiting very young people for explosions, drug trafficking, and assassinations because, according to them, juvenile offenders were hardly punished. In The Hague, according to the teacher, young criminals were primarily seen as victims of their circumstances. The teacher criticized explanations of crime based on disadvantage, personal problems, and a difficult childhood, because those explanations, according to them, obscured the responsibility of the offenders. The teacher also stated that the compassion for offenders was greater than the concern for victims. Young people deserved a second chance, according to them, but it should not outweigh the safety of society. The teacher wrote that the government, out of fear of appearing inhumane, no longer dared to set limits and that the consequences of this were borne by people who obeyed the law. #rechtstaat #criminaliteit #veiligheid (translated)

So very, very rarely are there those rare moments that remind you that you still live in the Netherlands. The Netherlands! The beautiful country where I was born half a century ago. This professor reminds me of that country: level-headed, businesslike, without ideological capers and with a clear awareness of what institutions are and are not intended for. A university is NOT a Ministry of Foreign Affairs and should explicitly NOT conduct its own foreign policy. Moreover, those who glorify violence should not be able to hide behind academic freedom or political engagement. A university has a responsibility for the safety of ALL students and for the rule of law that applies in the Netherlands. Sometimes you might almost forget that these were once completely normal premises. Not every social conflict needs to be imported by our institutions, not every radical belief deserves institutional whitewashing, and tolerance does not mean that a university may look the other way when genocidal anti-Semitic violence is glorified. This is the foundation of the Netherlands I knew: freedom, but no boundlessness; tolerance, but no capitulation; universities that pursue education and science instead of geopolitical activism. #Nederland #onderwijs #vrijheid (translated)
