Doe. Het. Niet.
Bezuinig niet op het onderwijs! 🟥
Vandaag maakt het CDA in de Eerste Kamer wéér dezelfde fout als eerder dit jaar door de bezuinigingen van de VVD aan een meerderheid te helpen..
Stem morgen op een partij die het onderwijs niet laat vallen! 🔴🟢

Nou nee, dat mag niet.
Een school moet een veilige plek zijn voor álle leerlingen. Dat staat ook in de wet. Het afwijzen van homoseksuele relaties geeft de boodschap dat iemand niet zichzelf mag zijn.
Dat mag niet én is ronduit schadelijk.

CDA-leider Bontenbal: religieus onderwijs mag botsen met grondrecht van gelijkheid
Dat religieuze scholen homoseksuele relaties afwijzen, is volgens CDA-leider Henri Bontenbal nu eenmaal een gevolg van de vrijheid van onderwijs. Daar wil hij niet aan tornen. "Een andere mening doet ...

WitChi: a fast, open-source Python tool to detect, quantify & prune compositional bias in MSAs.

The Asgard archaea are a diverse archaeal phylum important for our understanding of cellular evolution because they include the lineage that gave rise to eukaryotes. Recent phylogenomic work has focus...
