Pupils to be taught how to spot ‘putrid’ fake news and extremist content in a curriculum revamp following riots
Cameron Roy – The Daily Mail Aug 11, 2024
Teachers will adapt lessons to help children spot extremist content and ‘putrid’ fake news in the wake of last week’s riots, it has emerged.
In a curriculum revamp, subjects such as English, maths and ICT will be used to ‘arm’ pupils against falling for dangerous conspiracy theories.
Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson told the Sunday Telegraph that she hopes children as young as five will develop the critical thinking skills needed to identify misinformation on social media, following a wave of young people being swept up in the recent unrest across the country.
‘It’s important we give young people the knowledge and skills to be able to challenge what they see online,’ she said.
Britain’s most senior prosecutor Stephen Parkinson has warned it is ‘deeply disturbing’ to see children as young as 11 taking part in riots.
On Friday a 13-year-old boy appeared in court to face charges of violent disorder in Manchester on July 31.
It comes as specialist organised crime detectives have been assigned to go after influencers with large followings who have spread hate and incited violence.
The riots began on July 30 following a spate of misinformation about the killing of three children in Southport a day prior.
The suspect was not initially named, granted automatic anonymity due to his age.
But as misinformation spread online that the perpetrator was an Islamist asylum seeker, his identity was revealed as a 17-year-old from Lancashire.
Eight other children sustained knife wounds from a brutal attack on a dance class in the town, with five of them left in critical condition.
Judge Menary KC cited ‘idiotic rioting’ in parts of the UK in his reasoning for lifting the anonymity.
Suspect Axel Rudakubana has since been charged with murdering three children.
Sources in the government told The Telegraph the riots showed the risk of young people being ‘sucked in to dangerous online spaces’ – arguing it needed to be urgently addressed.
Ms Phillipson is now reviewing the primary and secondary school curriculum, as she claimed it was failing to ‘prepare enough of our children for work and for life’.
The review will look at teaching children to spot and dismiss extremist content by building within children critical thinking skills across lessons in multiple subjects.
It is being led by Prof Becky Francis will report back next year, meaning its recommendations may be introduced in September 2025.
It is claimed the planned changes will help children identify all extremist content, including far-Left conspiracy theories and religion-based propaganda.
For instance it could involve using English classes to dissect newspaper reporting, examining their style and use of language compared to fake news outlets.
It is thought that would teach children to differentiate between real journalism and propaganda, by looking out for signs such as bias and hyperbole in the latter.
In computer lessons, students are to be taught how to identify unreliable sources and websites by their designs.
Many propaganda sites are crude imitations of real news outlets, including those of newspapers and broadcasters, but they continue to fool social media users.
Misinformation about the Southport attacker was amplified by Channel3 Now, which poses as a US news outlet but was revealed by the Daily Mail as linked to Russia.
But even some of the smartest and richest people in the world have fallen victim to fake news disinformation.
Elon Musk tweeted far-Right fake news that Sir Keir Starmer is considering building ’emergency’ prisons on the Falkland Islands for arrested rioters.
It was made out to be an article in the Telegraph by a senior news reporter at the newspaper but a cursory search of Google revealed no such piece exists.
Musk later deleted his post – a rare backward step for the billionaire whose posts have become increasingly unhinged on his social media site.
He had written ‘Detainment Camps’…’ at 10am as he shared the post by Ashlea Simon, co-leader of far-Right group Britain First.
Meanwhile the government has implemented new measures aimed at tackling misinformation and deterring would-be criminals from instigating further violent disorder.

Just read on the News today (12-8-2024) that any far-right protesters taking part in rallies could face prison sentences of 10 years!!!
Rothschild from his cambridge home in bentinct st

The result is that their minds are not their own

BANKERS TYRANNY
It really has become very apparent in the last few years.that banks control governemnts The very reason the National Socialists were so heavily demonised is because they took Germany off the gold standard. Any country that doesn’t play ball with this “jooish” system is heavily penalised. Japan wasn’t playing ball so they hit out with Fukishima.
Remember the Stuxnet virus which israel used to also attack iran totally wrecked japan, when asked for reparations israel said it would set the americans to war on them
in a repeat of what they did before
Kweir Stalin’s STASI State is coming for the kids…..
How convenient the murder of 3 little girls is turning out to be for the latest installed globalist puppets. The Agenda here is to criminalise and demonise truth researchers and of course continue the “clash of civilisations “. The Southport incident is being used as a net to catch all “fake” news spreaders. When I first saw the news on social media a picture of a Muslim with a knife soon followed apparently the murderer this was later discounted and another fake picture of an African followed ? Some aspects of the incident are puzzling , how did the killer select the target he lived 5 miles away was the dance event well advertised ? The 17 year old (if that’s his age) starred in a BBC promotion , there’s that den of iniquity again. Taylor Swift the latest Illuminist creation is connected , is that sending out some warped signal ? The Crowleyists have moved the whole emphasis away from the girls. Anyone who has followed Richard D Hall will know their M O how convenient he is embroiled in a court case . If Southport isn’t a Psy-op it’s turned out to be very useful.
The first thing the students will realize is, you cannot trust the government.
Haha, “his identity was revealed as a 17 year old from Lancaster”. He was Rwandan. But it took massive searching to find out that info as all mainstream sites did everything they could to make him seem like a British lad born in Wales. His parents are immigrants… illegal or otherwise. It is mass migration the citizens of the UK are protesting and this murderer is of migrant parents, no matter the misinformation being disseminated by the mainstream media.
LOL…

dear dear, what passes for yellow journalism nowadays..
…it’s interesting how they can shit all the current regimes ‘straplines’ into their rather limp journalistic organ without even mentioning any of the real details..of a very real crime…
Don’t you think?
this short vid just must be seen

The masses think Communism was a few decades in Russia but it is a constant since the 1770s, and its rhetoric never changes, all just designed to get you to leap over a cliff as a people
It wasn’t conspiracy theorists who pushed the toxic lie at children that all children in England should be COVID vaxxed.
We now need those children to remember…
A poem from the 18th century reads as a protest : They hang the man and flog the woman Who steals the goose from off the common Yet let the greater villain loose That steals the common from the goose The law demands that we atone When we break unjust laws that work against us, But leaves the lords ladies and corrupt lawyer types who make unjust laws to rob us of our freedoms.
Gone are these ancient laws that were yours and mine The poor and wretched don’t escape If they conspire the law to break,
This must be so but they endure Those who conspire to make the law The law locks up the man or woman Who steals the goose from off the common And geese will still a common lack,, Till they go and steal it back
far Left lawyers who work against their own people will steal and eat your goose again and again until we stop them
This could backfire on the authorities. It takes a real lack of self-awareness to tell someone to be aware of fake news and watch out only for “real” news when most of the fake news is your own and the real news hardly ever comes from you. Once kids’ reasoning skills kick in around junior school age, they’ll see what the authorities told them to look out for and value is really the detritus they should be avoiding, and having taught them how to find it they’ll never be able to fool most kids again.
The deceitful, hoping to teach self-deceit without exposing the deceit at the root of the plan, is pointless. Kids are aware of deceit, they are not blank pages. Some kids try deceit themselves while others know when it’s being tried on them. This suggests they know they’re not fooling as many of us as they want us to believe, because if they were fooling enough already they wouldn’t risk losing that advantage.
The jews are really going for banksy with his hidden antisemitic messages
i confess i dont understand it
but i bet he does not do any more
These are the same STUNNED CUNTS … err “Educators” who listen to the poor little rapist of children that he didnt know it was a crime.. its ok heres a particupation ribbon and some vouchers for free groceries and rent .
You want war youre gonna get it. Fucking commies.
The Labour (ie Communist) brainwash program is being ramped up.
Did any notice that the Rwandan was in Dr No…Er sorry I meant Dr Who ?
Sod it what’s the difference, it’s all run by Mi5 / Mi6. Bunch of kiddie diddlers / fiddlers/ kiddie killers.
Sick Bastards think they control the population of Britain.
Well that’s not arrogant and big headed at all is it?
Let’s see how this works out for ’em
LOL
P.S. It’s gonna BLOW!
” ‘It’s important we give young people the knowledge and skills to be able to challenge what they see online,’ she said.”
And in the MSM.
For that reason it will backfire on them.
Meanwhile, the Government is telling us, “Don’t believe your lying eyes.”
“Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson told the Sunday Telegraph that she hopes children as young as five will develop the critical thinking skills needed to identify misinformation on social media, following a wave of young people being swept up in the recent unrest across the country.”
Ah, Bridget must be a smart cookie while trying to guide 5 year olds into critical thinking skills – with the help of queer “drag” queens reading straight from the kosher political correct manual.
During “the good ole days of the Spanish inquisition” all the Bridgets of the world would have been taken for “reeducation crash courses” instantly. That would have taught 5 year olds more about life, “witches” and critical thinking than a guided “sex change in Kindergarten” without a following bonus bonfire at the stakes.
Stopping fake news with fake news…. love it 🙂
As soon as children learn that there is no Santa Claus, then all bets are off. They know they have been deliberately lied to by their elders. Everything is then up for question.
Any intelligent child can see that the msm uses language in a special way, always misguiding while the actual sentences are true: at school my friends and I saw the teachers as vermin
