Is teaching pupils to adopt a political narrative based on false historical claims part of the curriculum in Belgium? This is what a “geography lesson” looks like at a secondary school in Antwerp. Entire classrooms filled with Palestinian flags. “On May 15 every year we go on the streets in Antwerp and everywhere in the world to commemorate the Nakba…” “…We still live with the dream that one day we will return to Palestine.” I will raise this directly with the Flemish Education Minister @Zu_Demir and request a formal investigation by the education inspectorate. I will also write to the school’s governing board and Katholiek Onderwijs Vlaanderen, seeking the full teaching materials, an explanation of who approved this session, and assurances that this will not happen again. Parents deserve to know when a geography classroom becomes a platform for political campaigning. An impressive lesson in geography: the line between education and activism has disappeared. I promise to make the responses I receive public.

Le siège du PS bruxellois a été attaqué (ceux qui visent des jeunes de la diversité feraient mieux de se taire, on a des images) et cette députée écolo fait un commentaire odieux, là où on attend de la solidarité démocratique. La direction d’écolo doit prendre ses responsabilités

The British Government is preparing an apparatus of internet censorship without parallel in the modern era. At the UN, Andy Burnham announced the creation of a National Centre for Information Defence — Labour’s Ministry of Truth. The Prime Minister says the centre will protect us from hostile foreign powers such as Russia, which he accused of spreading lies and disinformation about Britain, amplifying “far-right narratives” and interfering in our democracy. But the real purpose is to suppress dissent and silence those who criticise the Government or express views about the state of the country that run counter to Labour’s prevailing progressive orthodoxy. FSU Director of Policy and Research David Rose has written a new briefing examining the threadbare research the Government has used to justify its plans. The Government is clutching at straws — and, ironically, already spreading misinformation about the threat of misinformation. It has ignored a wealth of evidence from leading academics to push ahead with its new censorship regime. Burnham’s Government is putting Britain in the same league as some of the world’s most authoritarian powers.
