What if I told you that the Biden “Admin Paid German Agency to Help Teachers Turn Kids Against Conservative Media.” (This is a headline from Catholic Vote.) My sense is that at first you would not believe that headline. What if I added that this censorship program was funded by .American tax dollars? … again my sense is that you wold say, …”no way!”
What if I added that over 700 educators participated in a year-long series of State Department seminars hosted by the University of Rhode Island’s Media Education Lab (the ‘Rhode Island Lab’).”
These seminars introduced the teachers to various “censorship tools.” These included “video games designed to entice children to embrace leftist narratives and to compel them to use tech platforms that collude with the government to surveil and censor.”
What if I told you that this curriculum included lessons on promoting street protests for leftist causes, and detailed instructions on how to turn schoolchildren into media producers who advocate against free speech.
By this time my sense is that you would be saying, “NO WAY!”
However, the Media Research Council’s (MRC) Censorship Investigation Project uncovered the secret collaboration through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and analyzing public records.
MRC Legal Associate Tim Kilcullen reported Tuesday that both the Department of State and the Department of Homeland Security funded the effort.
Kilcullen added, “Under the Biden administration, the U.S. embassy set up a “year-long, cross-national professional learning community,” dubbed the “Medialogue on Propaganda,” in order to export German socialist ideas of censorship to American educators.
If you haven’t bought in so far, what if I told you that according to Kilcullen, “A portion of the curriculum was ‘funded in part by leftist billionaires George and Alexander Soros.’”
If only a portion of what I have just told you is true, how frightening is that!
