(Euronews) Denmark says it will take measures to protect teachers’ freedom of expression and prevent the risks of “self-censorship.”
The Danish government has stated that teachers should be able to speak about certain subjects, including cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, the Holocaust, women’s rights, and LGBT+ issues.
The ruling Socialist party said it would begin discussions in parliament on “freedom of expression” in January.
“It is unacceptable for violence and threats to create self-censorship and censorship in schools,” said Danish Justice Minister Nick Hækkerup.
“All teachers must feel free and safe in their teaching, and parliament has an obligation to ensure this,” he added.
