The EU is bankrolling NGOs to push contested gender ideology into Europe’s classrooms – bypassing parents, parliaments and even explicit national bans.
Key findings
- Projects under Erasmus+, CERV, and Horizon funnel millions in taxpayer funds into activist-designed curricula
- Initiatives like TUTOR train teachers as ‘champions of change’, embedding activist content on gender and sexuality into every subject, from maths and science to history
- Materials for kindergartens and primaries use tools like the ‘Genderbread Person’ and children’s storybooks where characters question whether they are boys or girls
- Digital platforms push gamified activism, rewarding teenagers with ‘activist’ status for making memes pushing gender-identity ideology
- In Hungary, where LGBTIQ teaching is banned for minors, EU-funded NGOs run off-campus trainings so teachers can bring the same content back into schools
- Indices and toolkits create soft law pressure, pushing member states to adopt activist pedagogy under the banner of ‘best practice’
- The result is a continent-wide social experiment on children: dismantling traditional norms, teaching gender identity as an internal essence that may differ from their biological sex, and training pupils and teachers alike to become activists.
