- Donald Trump is actually the product of this bubbling internet. A man without 1 thought in his head, without an idea, without substance, I would even say, without consciousness... This is not a conservative, this is simply a product of our time. He just jumped out of this bubbling network of "diversification" - she said.
Will there be changes in the canon of reading? "Education becomes impossible"
In August, the work of the squad will be completed to scope a proposal basics of Polish programming language. The Ministry of National Education calms down that the canon will stay unchanged.

- I'm sorry. These further ideas to simplify the educational process - for example, reduce the canon of reading to an absolute minimum, and in the future get free of it, due to the fact that in fact, in this direction we are going, it is truly giving up the educational field to today's cultural tendencies, which are barely positive. They are definitely negative, aiming to make education in a sense impossible at all - she argued.

Another solution proposed by the prof. is transition from image culture to reading culture. - A descent from a image culture, in which the image is flickering all the time and so there is no anticipation of stopping, focusing attention for more than a fewer seconds to the reading culture, where the brain works completely differently, due to the fact that alternatively of getting the image ready, it must produce it with the power of imagination.
Prof. Bielik-Robson besides raised the issue Mental wellness crisis among children. - I'm sorry. The depression of these children is de facto a side effect of digital dementia, that is, that the brain does not make the way people have developed so far throughout the evolution of humanity. It does not produce the power of imagination, it does not produce adequate neural connections - she argued.

Prof. Agata Bielik-Robson expressed outrage in Kaczyński's words and called them "a completely unheard thing". The expert believes that the Polish right contributed to the return of anti-Semitism, accepting its presence in its rhetoric.
“Jarosław Kaczyński says a very different thing – he is the brother of Lech Kaczyński, who introduced Khanuk candles to the Sejm. Actually, Saying something like that, he's getting closer to Grzegorz Braun right now.who put out that Hanukkah in the Sejm, she stressed.

- I'm sorry. How could Anne Applebaum be treated like this, which, I stress, has Polish citizenship, which means she is Polish, is married to a prominent Polish politician and minister, actively supporting him in all his initiatives (...) She besides raised 2 wonderful sons who consider themselves Polish patriots. So I'm sorry, who, if she doesn't have the right to say "mother of a Pole"? And besides, a judaic female can't be a Polish mother? There are no Polish Jews? - she asked.
A migration dispute. "The refugees are right"
- I'm sorry. Refugees are right and we have a work to consider them., any of them are truly persecuted in those countries where they come from - emphasised Prof. Bielik-Robson. - We must consider their rations, but on the another hand We can't completely ignore the another right., which is the criterion of social cohesion - she mentioned.

- I'm sorry. I am absolutely in favour of not leading to utmost polarization, i.e. not putting things completely on the edge of a knife, that here illegal migration is completely wrong, and so xenophobic reflexes, the bluntness of a alien are entitled. Like I said, it could always end very badly and It's the alien's death that can get us into the blood so we can start setting up our own community. - warned the professor.
