While we’re banning books…
Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.
Be. Like. Finland.

On top you learn how to write this properly that your argument properly stands.

The kid looks at his father with dead-pan face and says: "Dad, wikipedia is not an accredited source".
I had to find some proper links for him. Proud dad.
I can tell you. None.
So schools learn the kids to use accredited sources, and yes some may be in the wiki page. 😒
It was in a school project, they learned that they shouldn't uncritically accept the wiki synopsis without also verifying that the information is valid.
You go to the bottom of the page, and use the resources, not the wiki page itself. Like one does when doing due diligence with any research.
Duh.
If you read my post again, then think two seconds, perhaps you'll get it.
Apologies for the tone
I had to find "proper" citated articles for him before he believed me.
FYI, it was about the size of eagles and their prey.
I guess also for people that hadn't really encountered this issue yet, the reason Wikipedia is still valuable currently is that it is 1. Not owned by all the same corporate media 2. Lists it's resources so you can check the information being presented.
This is teachings many, many adults who haven't grown up in the digital age doesn't understand.
Apparently the had been taught that you had to use proper sources. 🤷♂️
Therefore the school learn them to check the sources and not automatically accept the wiki page.
To read and expand your knowledge is not always productive in a evolutionary perspective where energy is survival.
So they must be pushed and encouraged, alas we start regressing.
No OSHA. No employment. No workers comp.
He's a great author and thinks critically.
they were concerned about Russia infiltrating the US
apparently it is no longer a concern
Fake?
Or really fake?
(Doesn't accept responsibility for being found guilty in a court of law).
Or...blah blah blah blah.
Catch your latest propaganda in your local gym or airport.

The curriculum of students in Finland includes media literacy lessons, aimed at safeguarding a precious resource: THE TRUTH.
Soon to be used all over Northen Europe. Even in a few US states? So required with the election of Trump in mind.

My mother has undiagnosed (but very clearly) dyslexia and has serious difficulties to understand longer textes, especially informative ones like news articles
But I still wouldn’t want us. 🤷♀️
Americans I met are often kind, welcoming to new people and warm-hearted.
Just because some others are not, doesn't mean I still don't appreciate the many positive experiences I have had with Americans🎶
They will whine about being brainwashed.
While a bit of the teaching is dated (how could it not be in today's world?!?) the principles are sound and it's helping them recognize some bad actors.
This type of thing would literally NEVER happen in this country without a complete reordering and reformation of the country. USA is the most propagandized country in the world, this is literally antithetical to the USA

The whole reason to do separation of church and state was to remind people that religion isn’t gonna save your ass .
If we’re gonna start mandate that religion be in anything State/Fed. Then they should be paying taxes .
This needs a law NOW.
I’m drinking sorry .
You think that I would stick to the same fucking curriculum across the board in each state, but it doesn’t .
So with that being said, the north rules education in the south sucks
How much did they cost to import, three dollars each? Who supplied them?

I’ll tell you the first time my grandkids come home with that motherfucking Bible. I’m gonna record burning it and then I’m gonna put it on fucking Twitter.
Apparently the decision to buy included special "requirements" for the Bible and word got out that a specific Trump-endorsed Bible matched those "requirements".

But I like how you summed it up in all that pretty sentences right there 💙
manipulate so many people.
Suburban areas give more towards their educational
There has been a dumbing down of our educational system according to David Cay Johnston, Professor of law, journalism,public policy, and purlizter prize winner. I agree with him.
50% of Americans read at a fifth grade level.
22% of Americans read at a third grade level.

These schools wouldn't be private in that way, I think instead OF PRIVATE,we need to use PROTECTED
This one is to keep the rich, richer..and the poor, poorer. Period.

I love these Canadian ads directed at kids.
https://youtu.be/cvPwJQXzHm0?si=unmRtQr74vfL90Gx
What about ads like the one from Canada run on kids networks, Ticktock, YouTube, etc.? How can we make that happen? A few big donors, some Hollywood peeps, a GoFundMe campaign?

It’s not about what they want.
They're already war-ing on education

Remember the support when schools discussed facts about unforeseen racism in the establishment of US institutions. But then the Tea/MAGA’s decided it was CRT and created a myth that it was being taught in schools so they could have a culture war?
This was in NYC in the 80’s, and it was an instant F if you used an article from the New York Post.
they got no idea where they live in, they don't understand it,
they think propaganda only exist in russia, they can not tell difference between paid "news" and proper news article of fine journalism.
people in west think they are so much much much better at everything than everybody else where on the planet,
only better thing is quality of life via economy, socioeconomic things, healthcare, those are all nice things, good things..
I don't know why you don't separate these things in your mind,
just because your quality of life is ok doesn't mean politicians aren't lying?
they are just some zombies and state propagandist told 'em what is finnish and finland and what to think.
"west is the best, russia is bad" "its really just this black and white nothing else to think a bout"
"for sure the leaders are not same kind of manipulating abusers brainwashing citizen in finland like elsewhere".
said finnish and other people without understanding the goverment buys the result of the studis from certain institutions.
everything the government says is truth good and real and best for you,
what evil terrorist dicktator countries say is from demon, lies, wrong and leads to destruction and immorality.
they mean absolutely nothing. I don't trust anything british.
it's not a seal of trust.
I'm out of here.
you war mongering loonies been doing this teen age drama war things for THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
you all suck
I got no time for that,
other countries but russia has never fought a war in their history or prehistory.
it takes two to tango. it just is like that.
2. Learn logic.
3. Learn to discern deflection.
SF = Soviet Finland
I’ve travelled to Finland twice. Spent time in Helsinki, Kouvola and Hyvinkää. Took teams from Toronto over for hockey tournaments. Such nice people.
Whatever happened to that?
Among other things.
Citizen centric!!! 😲
😉
This is what is possible for the greatest country in the world
i was assigned homework in grade 1
It's not unusual for children to start doing some form of homework in Kindergarten, where I live.
but he US is trying to convince americans that:
-unions are bad
-teachers are bad
-teachers unions are bad
-publicly funded schools are bad
-unions at publicly funded schools are bad
a private school is fine as well
so is a charter school, just fine
countries that invest in themselves will show enlightenment and intelligence in all fields with less people of all ages being left behind
America use to do this as late as 1980
Countries that still do so like NZ Sweden Finland Norway are called socialist
you do get what you pay for, you always have, just no one wants to pay the bill?

Meanwhile in the Idiocracy...
The STATE education system is run by the Catholic Church.
Non-Catholics are 'allowed' to sit at the back of the class during prayers. This is the Gvts idea of being inclusive.
Blind obedience & acceptance is what's taught.
Critical reasoning & analysis is not valued.

Once they drive out all the faculty via school shootings they can bring in the clergy
That incoming moron loves the poorly educated and they prove him correct every second of the day.
In America, Republicans ban books, and actively spread disinformation, because they fear an informed public.
Can you see the difference?
Republicans are doing their best, and winning one idiot at a time.
I guess they don’t want that pesky critical thinking getting in the way of president Twitter X programming

Imagine what the insurrectionist would do to the Republicans, if they realized how their patriotism was used against them.
I wouldn’t try to stop them from hanging those treacherous motherfuckers.
PERIOD💯💯💯💯
It's time to clean house... the whole house.
And this video is exactly what it means. 💜🫂
I remember Civics class. Is it part of the GOP's "dumbing down" of the electorate that schools no longer teach civics? Curriculums have changed since the 80's.
I graduated in 2/73.
I never forgot...

Now, seldom overtly.
It exists here & everywhere.
Everyone should go to Helsinki and learn from the charming and warm Finnish people.
It is heaven on earth, and the red squirrels are absolutely adorable there.
Education is central and encouraged.
Be. Like. Finland.
In response, Finland has immigration & beautiful diversity like any other wonderful place where people have opportunities.
The Finnish people are incredibly humane and care about each other.
It's literally palpable being there.
No country is a utopia though Finland is the closest I've seen.
Go visit Helsinki, you will feel the warmth.
Start by going when it's warmer there.
It's amazing
It does not surprise me at all, the incredible warmth, joy, and generous hospitality I experienced among the Finnish people shows a glimpse of what a society can be when desperation and fear are extinguished.
They are warm from within
