## Resource

A new school in Almere, funded by the government and linked to far-right party Forum voor Democratie, is sparking controversy after failing to prove community demand—instead relying on population projections. Its founder, Thierry Baudet, envisions a radically gendered, politically charged curriculum that bans LGBT content, celebrates colonial history, and rejects immigration and climate policies. With just ten students signed up but needing 277 in eight years to maintain funding, the school’s opaque ties to the party and its controversial ideology have drawn scrutiny from officials concerned about inequality and the party’s associations with white nationalist groups.
