gender studies in Hungary

Viktor Orban, the prime minister of Hungary, has sent a directive to higher-education institutions in his country to ban the teaching of gender studies. The reaction from many circles opposing the rule has been swift. 
In the doldrums of a European summer, when many universities are mostly closed or short-staffed, the populist Hungarian government of Prime Minister Viktor Orban sent a directive to higher-education institutions on Aug. 9 forbidding the teaching of gender studies.
