IS EDUCATION A HUMAN RIGHT?
Education is directly related to knowledge, and knowledge in turn is the guarantee of our development.The potential of the life we can live depends on this knowledge, its transmission to future generations and its development by them.Education is a very important part of the transmission and development of knowledge.It is no coincidence that it is in the public focus not only when we talk about prosperity, but also when we talk about dealing with hunger and disease.Does all this mean that education is a basic human right, acquired at birth?!When we talk about "rights", we should mainly strive to refrain from interfering in certain areas, not to oblige someone to act in a certain way.In the case of education, it means that it is unacceptable to take away someone's right to be educated, but it does not imply the obligation to do everything in our power to educate them.The desired degree and form of education cannot be universal.Information that is diverse in content and meaning is needed, allowing for the formation of an independent opinion.This also means eliminating the forced imposition of some theses and the prohibition of others.This article will analyze the right to education, but also describe examples of abuse through the imposition of dubious and sometimes false claims.Specifically, the "history-changing" of the Black Lives Matters movement, the green "ideology" based on claims about Global Warming, and the LGBT+ attack in schools and universities that has been observed in a number of leading universities in Western Europe and the United States.
