Fake News

OMG, Rush is right: it's the corp-owned MSM that's driving political news, not the other way around.

Not sure where to put this:

A PBS high school lesson plan encourages students to empathize with young Palestinian terrorists who want to become suicide bombers to achieve martyrdom and suggests they would rather die because Palestinians have less land and are restricted.

The “Dying to Be a Martyr” multimedia lesson plan is available free of cost to teachers and students at PBS Learning Media, reports Justin Haskins at the Heartland Institute. It utilizes videos titled “Martyrdom,” “Suicide Bombing,” and “Israel and Palestine,” as well as internet sites and primary sources “to examine the roots of the Middle East conflict.”

Need to defund that shit right away.

Need to defund that shit right away.

Serious question. Why is trying to understand the mindset of the enemy a bad thing?

Oh, are we training our officers from age four now?

I read high school, not preschool. Yes, agree that preschoolers shouldn't be learning about psychology.

Indoctrination is a powerful thing.

The true stupidity is adults who think kids think like them. Developing minds make connections adults dismiss without noticing. When I was prepubescent, I bought a "Peter Fonda" poster at the Fair because I thought maybe it was "Peter Pan."

So should we train high school kids on firearms, assaults, going house-to-house, and maybe explosives as well? I mean.. while we are preparing them to fight terrorists, we should just go the whole way.. or are we just teaching them to identify with terrorists??

Even if it was symmetric: can you imagining the reaction if the same age children were encouraged to think like soldiers & aim their pretend finger-guns at other students.

I'm not following you, at all. Do you think high schoolers are age 4 or did you read it wrong and are now changing your point?

Here's what I do believe - teaching kids things ahead of time is preferable to teaching them after the fact. Who is most easily swayed by cult mentality? Who are the enemy targeting for recruitment? Is it 50 year olds or young kids?

We had a chapter on cult mentality in high school. I consider it along those lines - here's the warning signs, here's what happens if you fall in with a cult, here's what to look out for. I think the class served me well.

Knowledge is power.

Even if it was symmetric: can you imagining the reaction if the same age children were encouraged to think like soldiers & aim their pretend finger-guns at other students.

I didn't really read all that much about it. Is it a terrorist training class or a class designed to teach how someone gets into that mindset as a way to help kids avoid falling into that trap? I'm 100% against training kids in how to be terrorists. lol
