Dr. Hanna Kahn Urges Education Minister to Cancel Controversial Guidelines Affecting Children

Dr. Hanna Kahn criticized the Ministry of Education's "Guidelines" document in a video column on Channel 7, arguing it deeply impacts the emotional, mental, and sometimes medical well-being of children and adolescents. She emphasized that ideological experiments have no place in education involving children and called for the current guidelines to be revoked. Kahn highlighted the need for caution, responsibility, and full transparency with parents regarding policies that affect their children.

She referenced a recently published professional document by mental health experts that strongly critiques the existing guidelines, stating they fail to meet accepted standards of medical ethics and evidence-based medicine. Kahn urged the education system to pause, reconsider, and heed professional advice when serious professional questions arise.

Concluding her remarks, Dr. Kahn called on Education Minister Yoav Kish to cancel the current "Guidelines" and develop a new, balanced, responsible, and transparent policy. She stressed that this new policy must prioritize children's welfare, respect parents' rights to participate, and commit to science, ethics, and evidence-based medicine.
