I see the leaders of Poland are determined to turn the clock back. They want to introduce a law to ban discussions on homosexuality in schools and educational institutions across the country, with teachers facing the sack, fines or imprisonment.
It’s only a few years since the pernicious Section 28 law was at last repealed in the UK, and now another EU country wants to go back down that road. And as proof that being a leader of a country is no obstacle to being barking mad, we have President Lech Kaczynski, the twin brother of the prime minister, supporting the law, claiming that:
the future of the human race is dependent on discrediting homosexuality in the classroom. During a visit to Ireland last month, he said: "If that kind of approach to sexual life were to be promoted on a grand scale, the human race would disappear."
Er, Lech, fat chance. Life doesn’t work that way. But then, rational thought clearly doesn’t seem to be his strong point.
