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)

Surgeon Frans van Workum believes that artificial intelligence will operate independently in 20 years and may perform better than human surgeons, while he and Estefania Talavera Martinez are researching whether AI can learn the intuition of an experienced surgeon to accurately assess tissue tension during surgeries. #AIinChirurgie #KunstmatigeIntelligentie #DigitaleRevolutie (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)

Bart Nijman wrote that Dutch media in 2015 portrayed participants in the Ukrainian referendum, including GeenPeil, as antidemocratic and pro-Putin. Nevertheless, he called the referendum a great success. In 2017, according to him, newspapers and parts of the NPO tried to boycott GeenStijl but were unsuccessful. He also accused the media of labeling critics of Greta Thunberg as climate deniers in 2019 and of presenting support for Black Lives Matter as a civic duty in 2020, while according to him, Zwarte Piet was pressured with unfounded accusations of racism. During the coronavirus pandemic, according to Nijman, the media shielded criticism of the measures and labeled those who deviated as irrational. He argued that this permanently damaged the credibility of the press and trust in its fairness and objectivity. From 2021, he stated that media opposed the farmers' movement with reporting on nitrogen that journalists did not understand sufficiently, and starting in 2022, labeled critics of Ukrainian accession to the EU or NATO's contribution to the escalation as pro-Putin. Nijman wrote that after October 7, 2023, many media condemned Israel and Jews in general and based reporting on genocide and starvation on lies. According to him, the media concealed the reasons for Hamas' attack and subordinated facts to information from NGOs, including Oxfam. He also claimed that journalists who disagreed were not offering enough public dissent, partly because they had to save for a mandatory heat pump in 2028. Furthermore, Nijman accused the media of shifting their own problems onto disinformation and Elon Musk and of leaving X for their own, small online environment. According to him, DPG, RTL, and the NPO imposed standards that many Dutch people did not conform to. He wrote that readers should hate the mainstream media even more and asserted that the free press had again chosen the wrong side on October 7. #Media #Nederland #VrijePers (translated)

Ann Van Haute wrote that she was fed up with the constant criticism of young people, who she claimed were labeled as lazy and undisciplined, spending too much time on their phones and social media. She pointed out that measures had been put in place in response, such as restrictions on phone use and social media, penalties for school absenteeism, and the compulsory service that Theo Francken had proposed the day before to instill "discipline and order" in young people. Van Haute argued that adults had raised young people, structured education, and provided them with their phones and online environments. If the results were disappointing, young people were blamed according to her. She believed that adults needed to examine their own roles and sharply stated that people who urinated in public flowerpots while drunk were perhaps not the best to lecture others on discipline. #jeugd #onderwijs #sociaalemedia (translated)

Erik van Haren wrote that Laurent Mekies said 24 hours after Max Verstappen's victory in Malaysia that Red Bull would choose an aggressive approach to learn as much as possible about the car. Van Haren also reported that Mekies praised team founder Mateschitz and said that everyone had initially been against the project. https://t.co/yd1ElvBXBH #F1 #RedBullRacing #MaxVerstappen (translated)

Bart Nijman wrote that an Israeli who wanted to learn Dutch at a language school was refused because he did not unconditionally acknowledge a "genocide." In contrast, he stated that a Gazan who, in his opinion, had suggested being involved on October 7 had received residence status and a full scholarship. Nijman said that this, in his view, aligned with the government's motto: "It is possible." #taalonderwijs #discriminatie #ongelijkheid (translated)

CIDI wrote that Y., an Israeli residing in the Netherlands, had signed up for a Dutch course. According to CIDI, he was told during the intake that he had to acknowledge that genocide was being committed in Gaza. Y. was said to have responded that he did not consider that qualification as established and that potential war crimes should be investigated and prosecuted. CIDI stated that the teacher had rejected him because of his political beliefs and described the case as an example of what Israelis and Jews in the Netherlands experience. The organization said it would submit the case to the Netherlands Institute for Human Rights. #mensrechten #onderwijs #Israël (translated)

Good news: the Renaissance school has successfully passed the starting evaluation of the Inspectorate. A lot has been said and written about our school recently. We especially like to show in practice what we stand for: good education and children who learn with pleasure! https://t.co/ujrswyUSk6 #onderwijs #gelukkigleren #kwaliteitsonderwijs (translated)

Dus hier worden Jan Roos en Dennis Schouten voor vervolgd? Hoezo? Ik zie geen bedreiging of wat dan ook. Hebben de vrouwen aangifte gedaan? Zo ja: waarvan? Of vervolgt het OM maar weer eens op eigen initiatief omdat ze Roos en Schouten een lesje willen leren. Nu dondert het 'chilling effect' niet? Wat een pleuris club. #vrijheidvanmeningsuiting #Nederland #journalistiek

Dus Nederland gaat (alweer) vooroplopen in de Europese Unie, nu om Israël te stoppen met zichzelf te verdedigen. Om de hele EU een lesje te leren. Waarom? Omdat @ministerBHOS Sjoerd Sjoerdsma dat besluit. Wie? Sjoerd Sjoerdsma van @D66 met 26 van de 150 zetels in de @2eKamertweets. De @VVD zit erbij en kijkt ernaar. Het @cdavandaag zit erbij en kijkt ernaar. De @2eKamertweets zit erbij en kijkt ernaar. #Nederland #EU #Israël
