Brussels: Europe and the Arabs
Students of one of the educational institutes in Belgium organized this morning, Tuesday, a protest stand in front of the school door, while they were raising banners bearing expressions of protest against what they described as racial discrimination between young men and women. An incident occurred last week on the occasion of International Women's Day on March 8, when the administration of the Royal Atonium Institute in Halle, near the Belgian capital, Brussels, asked the students to receive the lesson standing, while the girls were allowed to sit. After that the girls got the chocolate, the boys didn't.
"A fun piece about inequality," the school said.
  But the youth official of the right-wing Vlaams Bilang Jungeren (VBJ) saw this differently and this morning took action in front of the school door with the slogan: "Stop the vigilante madness!"
The European Working Group at the school came up with the idea of addressing the "inequality" between men and women. The institute wants to achieve the title of "European Ambassador School", and one of the criteria required for that is to promote European values such as equality between men and women.
Last week's "simulated inequality" achieves exactly the opposite, said Philipp Brusselmans, head of the youth department of Vlaams Blang. “This way you actually learn that boys should be punished for perceived injustices that belong to the past.”
