Abolishing an academic program by a government decree is a flagrant violation of academic freedom and must be opposed at all costs by members of the international community of scholars and relevant institutions in Hungary, the European Union, and NATO alliance.

Academic freedom was hard fought for in Hungary's Communist past. It must still be fought for today.

I protest against the use of state power to silence vices and activities contributing to a better understanding of society and ways of addressing inequalities. This is outrageous and cannot / will not be allowed.

Az ELTE hallgatójaként szomorú látni az egyetemünk autonómiájának csorbítását.

Gender studies are the minimum required for gender mainstreaming of higher education. banning of gender studies is a strong signal of re-traditionalization and turning towards authoritarian political order.

Humanities programmes should never be banned - it's undemocratic! People should be able to study what they like without any restrictions. Long live the arts!

As a gender studies academic I am signing because my teaching and research practice shows every day how very important Gender Studies to understanding ourselves, our world and our history, and to confronting ongoing inequalities and discrimination throughout society.

This is an important programme which needs to be promoted rather than closed down!

Nem hiszem, hogy a politkának kell megmondani, mit oktassanak az egyetemeken.

Gender studies is an absolutely key component of modern social studies. To remove it from curriculums is short-sighted political bullshit.

A tudatlanság minden szenvedés forrása. A gender tudományág betiltása merénylet az európai és a magyar kultúra ellen egyszerre. Akik ilyet tesznek, az embernek nem ellenfelei, hanem ellenségei.

You can't ban ideas or fields of study. You may make it harder to think, but you can't prevent thought. Forget this, stop attacking academic freedom, and solve an important problem instead

Clearly the subject matter poses a threat to authoritarian regimes.
