invasion to schoolchildren

As the West widely condemns Russia for what it deems is an unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, Russia is planning to force schoolchildren to watch a broadcast about the government's justification for the Ukrainian invasion.

Russia's Ministry of Education said in a notice on Wednesday that schoolchildren will be forced to watch a broadcast on March 3 about the "necessity" of a "liberation mission" in Ukraine.

The notice said that children will be forced to learn about why Russia believes NATO seemingly poses a danger, and why Russia felt like it needed to intervene in eastern Ukraine's Donbas region.

According to multiple reports, school systems across Russia have been distributed information directing teachers to instruct their students on justifications for Russia's invasion of Ukraine last week.

13. In some Moscow high schools today they carried out a special "history" lesson: they told teens ...

Interesting parallel:

In some Moscow high schools today they carried out a special “history” lesson: they told teens it is not a war, it is a “special operation”. Some kids stood up and left, others cried who have relatives in Ukraine.

Worse than 1984. All of it.

14. Unreal. Looking at jobs overseas, do you know how many International Schools

are advertising from Moscow so people can come in and teach IB and the CIE? I wonder how they are doing with recruitment.

This will only make it worse for those places. Way to go, Putler.

16. Republicans always believe in a war on Christmas, cancel culture, losing their rights for COVID

Some assholes always make up a reason to fight someone, even if the reasons exist mostly in their own twisted imaginations.

I get that NATO has no intentions of invading Russia. But Russian propaganda encourages Russians to fear it anyway because their own geography and logistics work against them. Russia is very difficult to defend against an invasion from the west.

17. Unfortunately for education ministers

Kids know the difference between shit and shinola.

[BigmanPigman]

18. Especially the ones who are in their teens.

Most of those who are aware of what is really going on are younger Russians who are active on social media and are able to get the truth. They are the ones mostly protesting.

[BlueIdaho]

19. Very well said!

[SouthernDem4ever]

20. This is the right wing MO

If they get control of our govt again this will be the new abnormal normal.
