There seems to be a huge ruckus over something quite inconsequential. A few commenters are taking issue that Mr. Belien did not clearly mention that they were TWO schools, hence two entrances. Yeah, two schools of which one was primarily black and one white. I suggest the Dutch people hurry and purchase some lottery tickets because luck is definitely on their side. Especially considering the odds of the "two" schools having enrollments that split right down racial lines due to pure luck to be what? A billion billion to one? LOL

The arguments put forth by the dissenters to this article are a bit puerile on their own merit, however when taken into context with what the headmistress states:

“In such a case you can invest in quality as much as you like, but it is difficult to convince white parents to enroll their children here. If they come to have a look, they say ‘You know, with all these black children’ and enroll their children elsewhere.”

Come on people...

Having just read this article and the letter of protest by the Volkskrant journalist (which, at least, you had the decency of publishing, it has to be said) I have to conclude that your article is severly damaging your reputation.

Conscious misrepresentation of facts for the purpose of furthering your own ideological beliefs and goals was a common feature of the propaganda masters of the various 20th Century totalitarian regimes.

These days, "spin" and PR have taken the place of the masters of agitprop. Usually, these people are a lot more subtle in their "media management". However, your crude distortion of a small story has shown up a side of your journalistic persona, you might rather have kept hidden. You are no better than those lefty activist hacks you - rightly - so despise.

This reader, for what it is worth, will read any factual information you provide with the greatest scepticism. And so should other readers, in my humble opinion.

I agree that PC is going too far, PC for the sake of being PC is just wrong since it provides us with a climate where you can't properly discuss problems annymore.

However I still feel you strongly exagerated The so called " Segregation Issue" There is definately no race based segregation going on in dutch schools, at least not by the Schools or gouverment themselves, White people simply feel there child might feel uncomfortable in the Rietlanden public school as it has manny "Immigrants" so they prefer to enroll their children in the Montesori school (wich has immigrant students aswell by the way)

I have a little story for you by the way, you seem to have a problem with Immigrants living in europe, but concider this, I'm of Indonesian/Maluku descent, my people where taken from their country by the gouverment. you see, they fought for the Dutch during the Indonesian independance war because The Dutch promissed them an independant state but when the Dutch lost they took all those people that shed their own blood for them and placed them in camps in the netherlands and promised the return to their Island one day, but after years of living in camps in the Netherlands the Gouverment simply said: sorry, we can't keep our promise. So now suddenly there is tens of thousands of us living and breeding in the Netherlands and europe. We never chose for it and now we have to take all this crap of how we non natives are the fault of everything that goes wrong. Do you see the wrongness of that? I'm tired of getting crap from people of your wife's political party and her dutch colleagues. Instead of showing fancy figures of just how manny immigrants there are, and the problems this aledgely causes, you could actually present a solution to any existing problem, instead of stating the obvious about how things aren't exactly going too well.

you conveniently failed to mention your article that the idea of making with couples bring along an Immigrant couple when enroling into school is an idea of a white journalist called Pieter Hilhorst, and that the Councillors like something about that idea. this means they don't necesarilly want to see it actually happen. You only mentioned the Councillors and presented it as some PC measurement forced down our throats by immigrants, wich obviously is not the case as the idea comes from a native white Dutchman

Look, it is 2 different schools, one is the Montesori college and the other is a public school, students of each school go in through their own doors, Parents in the Netherlands have a right to choose witch school they send their kidds to, and Montesori is popular amongst White people. thats all there is to it.

you completely blew the original article out of proportion and mistranslated or added (fabricated) certain things to better suit your little propaganda

like this here: "Local councillors Fatima Elatik and Ahmed Aboutaleb are not happy with the situation. They are in favour of mixed schools and suggest enforcing this by forbidding white parents from enrolling their child in a school unless they bring along a non-white couple with a child to enroll as well. Deputy headmistress Nelly Bruin of the Rietlanden school opposes such a measure: “What you will see then is that highly educated parents will bring along educated immigrants. You will end up with schools for uneducated immigrants and white trash. That is not what you would want either.”

you completely fabricated this the only things you didn't fabricate are the names of the 2 councillors and the fact that they are a bit concerned

First of all it has nothing to with race, I allready explained why they go in via seperate entrances and why Montesori has overal more "White" students. You can't compare the netherlands with south Africa as you simplify things far too much with that. you are just seeing things that aren't there.

Also, I suspect the real reason to write this article was to throw in some random figures of Immigrants in the Netherlands. whereas you listed turks and Morocans only. even tough they are minorities even amongst the Immigrants in the Netherlands, do Maluku, Indonesian, Antilian, Suriname, Chinese, Vietnamese people no longer exist? or are you just trying to instill fear for some fictive arabain invasion? I suspect the later especially since your afiliation with Ms Colen

This article is a lie, it's 2 different schools in 1 building, it's not that uncommon in the Netherlands, the students of the Montesori school go in via the Montesori entrance and the students of the Rietlanden School go in via the Rietlanden entrance, it has nothing to do with race. my current school is 2 schools in 1 building aswell, we go in via our entrance and they via theirs and we are not allowed to use eachothers entrance.

Also Montesori is somewhat of elitist and it's hard to get in, it has waiting lists so people enlist their newborns in that school for when they reach the age of 6, that's why there are hardly anny imigrants in the Montesori and many in the rietlanden wich is a public school.

The Author of this article by the way is affiliated with Right winger Alexandra Colen a member of the right wing "Vlaams Belang".

I think it's been very easy in the past for an ethnically monolithic Europe to point the finger at diverse America and call it racist. It's easy to say you're color blind when the only color around you is your own.

The chickens are coming home to roost. It will be interesting to see how Europe deals with the situation.

..and infecting the rest of the "under-developed" world. Jacob Arminius would be proud.

So:

1.they're all built on a foundation of free will

2. all deceived they have to/'cannot avoid' the use of that free will

3. all deceived they have what they have got because they have basically gotten it for themselves expressly by the supposed 'smart use' of the 'free' will

4. all are deceived that 'the poor' are those who don't "get taught" 'how' to be 'smart' with their 'free will'

5. all want the 'education' that teaches them to be 'smart' --even some people who have heard of that 'education' and don't even live in the Netherlands yet

6. They are deceived one of the ways of supposedly being 'smart' is to give away that 'education' to all (wherein death culture/euthanasia, drug culture, perverted sex culture, etc are commonly accepted and indeed, forced as much as possible)

7. the 'poor' don't want to be singled out as poor. They want the 'smart ones' to pretend nobody is really 'smart' until they can 'catch up' ("dignity", all that..)

-----------

the lie of free will is the opium of the masses administered through non-creating speech: the only speech they have who is anti-Christ.

Now the Dutch have product and find themselves amongst an angry crowd of addicts that includes themselves and their own children. How will they 'fairly' divide the blow until anti-Christ in them can manufacture some more?

Only the Dutch (or a European) would even say the phrase "highly educated parents"... maybe John Kerry or Al Gore..

The Dutch themselves must be born again in Jesus Christ. They cannot do it themselves. How are they going to teach anyone else? Who would go to them for such 'education', much less be 'hurt' on being segregated in the midst of it?

Psalm 94:11 Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
