Technically, however, Roszkowski’s book is not supposed to be the only mandated textbook for the HiT course and teachers are presumed to receive some leeway in the didactical materials they use in class. Its author, Wojciech Roszkowski, an economist and historian, is the co-author of a previous history textbook published two decades ago, as well as another standard history book that in contrast to the current one received acclaim even by his present critics.īut Roszkowski’s views have radicalised over time (as is clear from some of his more recent publications) and the HiT textbook may have even been written “on demand” for Czarnek’s ministry to propagate the Catholic, conservative and nationalist PiS worldview of Poland, Europe and the West (Roszkowski is a former PiS MEP). The demeaning and politically biased portrayal of IVF is but one of dozens of examples of a manipulative narrative containing distortions and even factual falsifications in the textbook. Meanwhile, after being threatened with a lawsuit by a concerned parent, the Education Ministry is set to delete a passage referring to children conceived through in vitro fertilisation as “products of a human breeding programme” and questioning whether these children would ever be loved. The textbook has already triggered a wave of commentary in the media, as well as mockery and outrage on social media. Over the past few weeks, HiT’s ideological agenda has become increasingly clear from the content of the only government-approved textbook for the course. While formally constituting a pedagogical tool towards pupils’ matriculation, HiT seems conceived rather as a PiS-sponsored political indoctrination scheme. ![]()
