Parliamentarian Joram van Klaveren (Voor Nederland) presented a motion
asking the government to counter antisemitism within the educational
system. The motion noted the use of antisemitic
educational tools within Dutch educational programs, and the fact that many
history teachers rarely dare to teach the holocaust.
In addition, it notes the case of a trainee teacher in the town of
Almere, who was teaching students that ISIS, the Islamic State, is a Jewish
conspiracy. The motion passed by a small majority. The left wing parties, Labor, Green Left, the
Socialist Party and the Party for the Animals voted against the motion, as did
two Turkish Dutch parliamentarians who had left the Labor Party.
