Today the opposition and sympathetic media tried to spread the story that a group of parents at a certain school blocked a screening of Agnieszka Holland’s film. The trip to the cinema was organized by one of the teachers, who, as it turned out, was a candidate for the Sejm on the lists of the Civic Coalition. “The fact that the teacher is a politician is written in small letters at the end of the article” – notes Paweł Jabłoński, State Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the X platform, taking screenshots of the article from Onet.pl places. website.
Canceled trip to the cinema
According to the website opolska360.pl, students from secondary school No. 2 were named Nicolaus Copernicus University in Kędzierzyn-Koźle planned to go to the cinema to see the latest film by Agnieszka Holland, but in the end they will not see the film. And all because of several parents associated with PiS who prevented the entire school from going to the cinema to see ‘The Green Border’.
– writes Onet.pl.
He then quotes the father of one of the students. According to the man described as “Mr. Krzysztof,” his son last week gave him permission to sign to go to the cinema to see Agnieszka Holland’s film “The Green Border.”
I was happy because I think that young people should see a picture about the tragedy of refugees on the Polish-Belarusian border. The point is that the role of art is to provoke thought and discussion
– says the student’s father, quoted by the portal opolska360.pl and by Onet.
Onet reports that the next day the students received information that their cinema visit had been canceled, a decision that had to be made by the facility’s management after the intervention of the starosty. In the next message, however, the students learned that not the district office, but the Parent Council, decided to cancel the group visit to the cinema. Mr. Krzysztof also points out that he is a member of the Parent Council and that he knows nothing at all about the discussion on this matter and assumes that several people from the management made the decision.
The website opolska360.pl reports that only three people with right-wing views and ties to the local PiS protested against the students’ cinema visits. – They made a scandal about their categorical opposition because “The Green Border” is anti-Polish and young people cannot see such a film. They used the same arguments as Zbigniew Ziobro or Przemysław Czarnek – reveals the interlocutor of the portal, adding that local PiS supporters did not like the fact that one of the teachers, who is running for the Sejm on the KO list, is behind the idea was to go to the cinema to see ‘The Green Border’.

“This insolence must be made public!”
Paweł Jabłoński, State Secretary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, commented on the issue.
Pass it on – this insolence should be published ‼️ A teacher and PO politician (she is a candidate for the Sejm, shows off photos with the pro-Russian Kołodziejczak) wanted to send her students to watch Putin’s film A.Holland. The parents protested
— wrote the politician on the X platform (formerly Twitter).
What is @onetpl doing to improve Putin’s image? He attacks Polish PARENTS for expressing their opinions – he attacks them for being “related to PiS”. The fact that the teacher is a PO politician is written in small print at the end of the article
– he added, attaching screenshots of the article.
Pigs – that’s a mild term in this situation
– concluded the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs.
“Civic education to win elections”
In turn, State Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development Janusz Kowalski came across another interesting manifestation of the political involvement of Mrs. Marzanna Gądek-Radwanowska, who is running for the Sejm from 14th place on the KO list in the Opole Voivodeship. It turns out that during one of the meetings with the leader of PO, Donald Tusk, the teacher argued that because “Minister Czarnek is liquidating the WOS”, “there will be no possibility of citizenship education to win the elections.”
Apparently the teacher forgot that when the United Right began its current reign by winning the parliamentary elections in 2015, young people were still learning about social studies in schools and the subject was only replaced by History and Present in September last year. Moreover, since Gądek-Radwanowska herself taught WOS, she should have realized what the purpose of teaching this subject was, because it was probably not an agitation for a specific party.
One more thing: what opportunities do you see, what position do you see for civil and legal education in schools to rebuild the foundations of civil society, which is unfortunately collapsing and crumbling at the moment. Minister Czarnek is currently liquidating the WOS, right? This means that there is no longer a chance for citizen education to win the elections
– said the teacher during the meeting with Tusk.
On March 27, a teacher from Kędzierzyn-Koźle, who wanted to take children to the anti-Polish lampoon “Green Border”, pretended to be a concerned resident of Strzelce Opolskie during a meeting with Donald Tusk. She asked about civic education to “win elections.” I think she was on KO’s electoral lists as a reward
– responded Deputy Minister Kowalski on the X platform.
