MP under fire for “outrageous” post on social networks

The Czech Rectors' Conference has slammed Jiří Kobza, an MP for the Freedom and Direct Democracy Party, who suggested in a post on social networks that the faculty itself was to blame for having helped mold the shooter by the “inclusive progressive education”  it provided, which he said "begged the question what kind of indoctrination programme of hate is actually being taught there".

In a joint statement the rectors of Czech universities said they consider the post to be “absolutely shocking, crossing the boundaries of decency, morality and good taste."

Interior Minister Vít Rakušan also denounced the MP’s action, saying the post was "outrageous" and called on people not to abuse the tragedy by attacking the very group of people who were the target of last week's violence.
