The Hungarian parliament passed a measure this week amending the national constitution to more clearly enshrine the meaning of family and gender as traditionally understood.
In direct opposition to gender theory, the amended text states that “Hungary protects children’s right to an identity conforming to their birth gender and ensures education in accordance with the values based on Hungary’s constitutional identity and Christian culture.”

Poorly formulated! Could be construed as meaning that Hungary rejected a passage concerning "gender theory" contained in a constitutional amendment.
Better:
Hungary Passes Constitutional Amendment Rejecting Gender Theory
Regards,
God Bless Orban & Hungary!
It’s a shame our government doesn’t view the preamble to our Constitution as enforceable.
