Schools to teach children about fake news and ‘confirmation bias’, government announces

Suggested by Simon Tilbrook. - John Rentoul If the Groom of the Chamber to the Pope is a political appointment, said Emmabella Murray. Of course it is. - John Rentoul Would the Second World War have happened if Hitler had been accepted by art college? - John Rentoul 7. Denis Healey, chancellor of the exchequer, 1974-79

MSM and the BBC are on module ONE.

Did this article do any research? This is already taught across the UK in a multiple of subjects ...especially in Modern Studies in Scotland.

Yes kids, make sure you only read the British newspapers and watch BBC and Sky. Don't delve in to anything else will you, anything that's contrary to what we say? Well done.

Hopefully the kids can educate the parents now

Newsagents in the town centre once told me the only people who buy The Guardian were teachers and they were left piled high on school holidays. The first copy I ever was given of The Socialist Worker was by the careers advisor.

Remember the outcry when PeoplesMomentum wanted to have crèches so mothers could go to meetings.

they should probably start with indy100 and the fakenews and drivel the push out each day

They already do. My daughter gas been learning about this in high school.

You already learn about this in English

SATs results = fake news. School league tables = fake news.

So that should, positive news, I do hope not fake

This should not be necessary to announce, I would very much expect this as a given when I send my kid to school.

Good. I’ve talked to my children about using fact checking sites & why it’s important to check provenance of reference information online. Also about how google algorithms work to confirm and entrench bias. Recommend this:

I would love to know when we have time! We are expected to teach so much along the traditional subjects.

Let’s hope it’s taught in a genuinely unbiased way.

Just bring back critical thinking

Well that's you gone then isn't it!! BBC and the Guardian will follow no doubt

Trump would love this.

Yea... they been teaching that boys can be girls and girls can be boys. And homosexuality is normal. All of it, fake news.

This will be interesting if Johnson wins Tory Party election he’s a master of Fake News or as it is more commonly known LYING and making a joke about Lying

Tell them about all the stuff thats been censored or banned so they can decide for themselves what is fake news and see the state for the social manipulator that it is. Let them discover truth for themselves

They’d better teach them Geography, Biology and maths.

I'm so glad they're boycotting CNN.

More indoctrination for the masses......great!
