Totalitarian British schools to teach pupils to spot ‘extremist content’ online

Is this irony? I’m not sure because I went to public school.

Via The Guardian (emphasis added):

Children in England are being taught how to spot extremist content and disinformation online as part of planned changes to the school curriculumaccording to the Minister of Education.

Bridget Phillipson said she would launch a review of the primary and secondary school curriculum to integrate critical thinking across multiple subjects and arming children against “depraved conspiracy theories”…

Phillipson, the Labour MP for Houghton and Sunderland South, told the Sunday Telegraph: “It is more important than ever that we give young people the knowledge and skills to challenge what they see online.

“That’s why our curriculum review will develop plans to embed critical thinking skills into lessons to arm our children against the misinformation, fake news and rotten conspiracy theories circulating on social media. Our renewed curriculum will always set high and rising standards in core subjects – that is non-negotiable.

“But besides that we will create a broad, knowledge-rich curriculum that increases access to cultural subjects and provides students with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in work and life.”

I once made the mistake of noticing extremist racist content in an Atlanta public school and paid the price for my civic engagement: I saw something and I said something about it, just as Homeland Security told me to.

In American literature, in 10^and At Campbell High School we had a substitute teacher because my regular teacher, who was an alcoholic and who everyone knew spent her lunch breaks drinking in her closet, was having a liver transplant or something.

This girl, who looked like a college student, had clearly just graduated from college with a degree in the African diaspora and since it was February, she decided she would spend an hour forcing us to watch a program about social justice. propaganda about bad white people and colonialism or something like that.

I asked politely, with a curious mind thirsting for instruction, “My Irish Catholic grandmother is very proud of her heritage, and she asked me the other day when White History Month is?”

She frowned.

For my critical question, I was thrown out of class by this girl and had to be explained by an overfed principal who probably made $100,000 a year why my question was racist and “problematic.”

Another brick in the wall.

Returning to the UK, mind control is necessary, the state explains, because Britons are angry about Muslims stabbing non-believers and manipulating children on an unprecedented scale, which is a just and noble act of cultural enrichment.

Furthermore:

Misinformation spread on social media about the background and religion of the suspect in the case of the stabbing of three young girls in Southport on July 29 is being blamed for the far-right-led riots in the UK.

Specialised officers are looking for suspected online criminals and influencers responsible for “spreading hatred and inciting violence on a large scale”.

For the record, the concerns expressed by native Britons about the tendency of migrants to seek care are borne out by statistics — not that the British authorities care much. Such activities are more a feature than a bug of Diversity.

Via Migration Watch UK (emphasis added):

Since 2011, groups of mainly British-Pakistani men have been prosecuted for organised sexual exploitation crimes against hundreds of girls in Rochdale, Oxford, Telford, Leeds, Birmingham, Norwich, Burnley, High Wycombe, Leicester, Dewsbury, Middlesbrough, Peterborough, Bristol, Halifax and Newcastle. Regression analysis revealed that both the Muslim and Pakistani proportions of the local population contribute significantly to the level of group-localised child sexual exploitation (GLCSE). This translates up to approximately 1 in 2,200 of the Muslim male population (16+) being arrested for these crimes (83% of those prosecuted for GLCSE)However, the share of the local population of Pakistani origin is more powerful in explaining the level of GLCSE than the Muslim share, as most suspects are of Pakistani origin.
