Schools in England will begin to “educate” students on how to spot “extremism” in the aftermath of recent riots. The riots were in response to people’s anger at young girls being killed at a dance class but the government says that the rioters spread anti-immigration rhetoric and that it needs to teach children how to reject that.
According to The Telegraph, “schools will use lessons such as English, ICT (information and communication technology) and maths to ‘arm’ pupils against ‘putrid conspiracy theories, the Education Secretary has said. Bridget Phillipson told The Telegraph that pupils as young as five would be given the critical thinking skills to identify misinformation online under the new plans.”
Yes, the British government is so good at distinguishing “misinformation.” It proved that during the Covid pandemic, didn’t it? That’s sarcasm. This is Orwellian government propaganda drip fed through public education. It’s bollocks, that’s what it is.
