Re: Public schools indoctrinating kids
Finally heard today where this whacko QAnon paedophile conspiracy theory came from. Maybe it's old news, but it's the first time I've heard the explanation.
So, apparently the original QAnon (someone on 4Chan) was peddling Hilary Clinton conspiracy theories, part of which related to her emails. In the emails Hillary and correspondents seem to obliquely refer to something as "cheese pizza" (legitimate business, but coded reference). On 4Chan this started to get abbreviated as "CP" which APPARENTLY is also an abbreviation for "child pornography". As a result, the seeds were sown, and the crazies then took it as gospel.
I had been wondering how such a preposterous idea came about. Now, even in the UK some protestors continue to propogate the charge. What a world !

In the Telegraph, under the heading:
"Teaching children that white privilege is a fact is breaking the law, says minister"
Well said, Kemi, a great speech. Root it out of the UK education system before it gets out of hand there as well.

Calls to decolonise the curriculum have been gaining pace at universities, where students have urged professors to examine whether courses are too dominated by white male European points of view. They have also been growing in schools, where many teachers are keen for pupils to learn the history of colonialism and the slave trade from a less Eurocentric perspective.

Root it out of the UK education system before it gets out of hand there as well.you want, colonialism, involving at least six continents, to have one primary viewpoint.
A very even handed approach you advocate, fair and balanced, one could say.

That one has got a paywall.
