Bukele attacks gender theory and removes it from public schools in El Salvador

Bukele attacks gender theory and removes it from public schools in El Salvador (MSN)

The president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, 42, has attacked gender theory and has decided that it shouldn’t be included in the public education system of the Central American country. Bukele has said that he won’t allow “[gender] ideologies in schools and colleges,” and the Ministry of Education has announced that it will implement the controversial president’s decision. “Confirmed: we have removed all traces of gender ideology from public schools,” was the response posted on social media by Minister of Education José Mauricio Pineda. This step has aroused criticism from feminist organizations.

Bukele’s decision comes a week after the Electoral Court of El Salvador settled the dispute over the election results and ratified the president’s victory: he won his re-election bid with 84% of the vote. The body also reported that the vote count to elect legislators to the National Assembly has ended, giving a large majority to Bukele’s Nuevas Ideas (New Ideas) party. It is now the main political force in the country, allowing for the president to expand his controversial policies. This includes extending the state of emergency that he imposed more than a year ago.

After all he sure did lock up a lot of people, and certainly that is a good thing, except of course for the stunning violation of human rights involved.
