Schools to teach how to spot fake news, misinformation after UK riots
Fox News ^ | August 11, 2024 | Michael Lee

Schools in the United Kingdom will begin to teach students how to spot fake news and extremist content in the aftermath of riots that spread across the country last week.

Schools across the U.K. will look to revamp their curriculum to help children identify and dismiss extremist content by "embedding" critical thinking lessons in subjects such as English and math, according to a report by The Telegraph.

"It’s more important than ever that we give young people the knowledge and skills to be able to challenge what they see online," Bridget Phillipson, the U.K.'s secretary of state for education and minister for women and equalities, told the Telegraph.

"That’s why our curriculum review will develop plans to embed critical skills in lessons to arm our children against the disinformation, fake news and putrid conspiracy theories awash on social media," she added.

Phillipson said the country would still place "high and rising standards in core subjects," which she said were "non-negotiable," but that the new curriculum would widen "access to cultural subjects and give pupils the knowledge and skills they need to thrive at work and throughout life."

The push to revamp U.K. schooling comes after days of riots across the country in response to a mass stabbing at a Taylor Swift-themed event, resulting in the deaths of three girls and leaving several others wounded.

Easy.

If it came from the BBC, it’s fake.

If it’s pro-Muslim, it’s the real deal.
If it’s anti-Muslim, it’s fake news.

It’s just that simple.

Side note to white UK students: No matter what you are taught, you are the target. And you will be the target. Take care. And adjust your behavior accordingly.

If they teach kids how to spot fake news, the main stream media will have no purpose to exist. Better to let kids grow up to be low info voters. That way the Democrats will always win elections.

Home education is still legal in the UK - at least for now.

Parents need to get their kids out of the cesspool and propaganda machine.

For now. The Brits should think about emigrating, maybe to Australia.

I'm not writing another stanza tonight so the previous works will need to suffice:

To Muslims don't be rude
Living in dhimmitude,
No offense bring.
Gospel preaching is "hate"
Christian faith second rate
The goal of servile state:
Alllah is King.

All women Hijabs wear
To avoid angry stares
Muslim or not.
Cover in sight of school!
That is the contract rule
Can't have muzzie school boys drool
At hair so hot.

For kiddie's farm set play
We take the pigs away
(They are unclean)
Never make Muzzies mad
They might declare Jihad
And though it makes children sad
Pigs are unseen.

When Ramadan draws near
We forsake ale and beer
(Can't give offense)
School children can't eat lunch
Can't even candies crunch
Lest Moslems' panties bunch
Dhimmis' nonsense.

Can't stop with solid food
Liquid intake is rude
Don't "water" kids
Let them all dehydrate
Christian faith’s second-rate
Diversity’s ever-great
Alllah is King.

Don"t ignite a Koran
Can"t even burqas ban
They might protest
Shar-i-a's here to stay
Amputate, stone away
Beheadings on Friday
Thus falls the West.

We'll sport a shav-ed head
Wear sashes made of red
To get along.
Appeasement is our way,
Chamberlin our main stay
"Give us peace in our day"
Our final song.

History books made clean
"Holocaust" never seen
Must teach a lie.
Separate but equal?
Not in a British school
What is this new found rule?
"All truth must die."

Don"t write Father Christmas
He is no terrorist
But send a note
To those who spread ill will
Torture maim, hurt and kill
Support ISIS, we will
And on them dote

For spitting in a pram
The suspect on the lam
Never sees jail
“White people should not breed”
Such filthy muslim screed
Goes unpunished do take heed:
Britain shall fail.

When gay priders sashay
No signs “Allah is Gay”
Don’t dare offend.
All animals equal
But some are more equal
Living by Orwell’an rules
Free speech does end.

When Muslims groom school girls
Our upper lips are curled
“Asians” the word.
Can’t let Muslims be vexed
While kids are prepped for sex
What perversion shall be next?
Our world is Third.

Schoolgirls must Hijabs wear
Cover all female hair
As young as five
If they are covered not
“Islamophobe” is thought
What has this madness wrought?
Islam will thrive

Don’t make a crude, rude joke
‘Twill land you in poke
No free speech here.
“Come here to bomb the place?”
Can’t say with any face
Insult Muslims: disgrace
Jail time is near.

Oxford now saith, “Nay”
To keep Saint George’s day
With feast this year.
What honor shared instead
Of their patron saint’s head?
Why, have you not read?
Eid-al-Fitr.

“From river to the sea”
The Muzzie’s cry you see
Upon Big Ben.
Christ’s Kingdom commeth yet
Will the Brits’ Empire get
Where the sun never sets?
Never again.

I’m sure that they will have pictures of Stalin to give the students inspiration with Police Thugs to enforce strict attention.

Should be teaching students to spot government thuggery and affronts to freedoms by rogue government officials.

"Schools to teach how to spot fake news, misinformation after UK riots"

Rule #1: Always trust government news. BBC is your friend. You can always trust government.

Rule #2: If you ever have any doubts, refer back to British Broadcasting; refer to rule #1.

Yeah, I like where this is going. What could possibly go wrong?

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” - George Orwell, '1984'

[Klaus also said by 2025 we’ll all be wearing his Uniforms so no need for fashion ,LOL]

The worldwide Left is getting more and more frenzied now that people’s eyes are opening to their corruption and treachery, past and present. They’ll do anything to quash the truth.

A rabbit will freeze - or flee - when attacked by a snake. A mongoose will turn and savage the snake.

Are today’s Brits rabbits or mongeese? A month ago I would have said rabbits. But then came the riots. So the whole thing is up in the air now. Time will tell.

It will also be interesting to see what the British Army would do if they’re ordered out of their barracks to quell the protests. Lots of possibilities there.

It’s a silent from 1927. Way ahead of its time. I haven’t seen Kafka either.
