    How fucked up in the head do you need to be to make shit like that up? It’s not even just an adult, which would be stupid enough, no, it’s an education official.

        I think falsely claiming preschoolers have rooms for masturbation or anything sex-related is still a tad worse than falsely claiming they shit or pee weirdly. They serve the same goal of attacking public schools, but one still just seems more fucked up than the other.

        On the one hand, it’s similarly ridiculous. On the other hand, I think just about everyone would be more startled disgusted by the claim here.

      Conservatives generally have an astonishing skill at coming up with the weirdest bullshit to justify their hate of anyone progressive.

      Poland is very religious. Their politicians know that religious people are essentially brain damaged and will believe pretty much anything as long as it comes from someone they view as an authority figure (even if its proven wrong, they’ll still stick with it). Raising children to be religious is child abuse.

      I think it’s about the general view on masturbation. Like I guess some people in Poland would love to tell preschoolers that masturbation is wrong and shouldn’t be done at all. If anyone teaches children it’s ok, but they shouldn’t do it in front of everyone, it’s easy to imagine it leads to the idea of a masturbation room, which can easily cause outrage in Polích population despite the fact it’s actually nothing wrong.

      Reality is a team sport, to some people. Claims are not evaluated. They’re simply accepted or rejected based on interpersonal trust.

      They think you’re the same way. They think that’s all there is.

      About as fucked as any conservative regressive representative, pundit, or a good chunk of their voters.

          She was prepared to show the reporter where she’d seen the claim online, but her phone was in the microwave, charging.

            This was because she had attempted to drill for the hidden headphone jack, and thought it would not turn back on because the battery was dead.

    While I do appreciate having dedicated masturbation stations at work, I dont think elementary schools need them for the students

    But I do think we should advance this discussion as a workplace perk

    The remarks were made by Barbara Nowak, the education superintendent for Małopolska, a province of 3.4 million people in southern Poland centred around the city of Kraków. The national government appoints one such official in each of Poland’s 16 provinces, where they are tasked with overseeing schools.

    Nowak, a controversial and outspoken figure, was asked in an interview with news website Wirtualna Polska about claims commonly made by her and other Polish conservatives that the World Health Organisation (WHO) is seeking to “sexualise” children.

    “The WHO outlines the aims to quickly interest young people in their bodies and in the pleasure of artificially aroused sexuality,” she answered. “These groups claim that the easiest way to relieve a small child’s emotions is through masturbation.”

    “In Swedish preschools there are special rooms where the teacher goes with a child and masturbates them,” Nowak continued. “They then know that they can also masturbate on their own.”

        Yeah but when you see a rise in broken, sociopathic politicians in one country, the response isn’t supposed to be “hold my Paczki and watch THIS”

        Counter argument, Russian interference and political undermining has a direct and indirect influence on global politics.

        “Russia should “introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics”.”

      We all import american bullshit, I saw some dumbas talking about trans people and Biden on tv. I live in a small Balkan shithole, but those our the issues we face here. It spilled over to the dumb shits, the reality based community is shrinking

      Nah, it’s just American politics imported. Estonian far right party tried it with gay people but it got them ridiculed instead because same sex marriage wasn’t even legan then but they made it into a hot enough of an issue that after losing our government signed a law that does legalise it starting next year.

      I’m guessing Estonia will get the “save the children” narrative for our next national election, I’m hoping that will end up making stuff better for trans people instead.

    To put the “official” in context, that woman is Barbara Nowak, the education curator for the Lesser Poland voivodeship - that is, the official directly responsible for the education system in entire region, and this particular region is one of the most densely inhabited.

      Or why respond seriously?

      Just call the person that made the claim a sick and stupid freak and apologize to the people forced to work with her. Decorum should go out the window when shit like this is being slung around, this “we go high, they go low” shit is cringe.

    Exactly. Or as they’re called in the Swedish Tongue - maSSturbatoriums. No such thing. Silly Polish people. Sweden waves its genitals in your general direction.
