Hungary: No More Gender Studies

Fox News reports the Hungarian government of Prime Minister Orban has decided to shut down “gender studies” courses and majors at Hungarian universities. A government spokesman issued the following judgment:

There is no economic rationale for studies such as these, and so we have reason to presume that it was not created in response to labor market needs, and equally not to furnish students with skills that can be readily and directly converted on the labor market,” he said. It is also questionable to what extent studies with admittedly such low student numbers are economical and sustainable.

I fear there is little chance of the adoption of this practical policy here in the U.S.
