Here's another article that the Establishment's narrative must be adhered to.
There's no actual 'right or wrong' if one assumes societal caring is the important
concern here, but it could be debated that this accepted action of informing young
people to 'know' what is 'Fake News' is based on the sole belief that established forums
of information are correct and all else is dubious, isn't that a form of control?
When using the word 'Establishment', my personal reason is that in this world of titles,
the want for labelled segregation and identity branding, the 'standard' majority of a
country's population falls under this heading.
Teach schoolchildren how to spot fake news, says OECD.
Thinktank’s education lead raises concerns over social media ‘echo chamber’ and
says ability to discern fact from fiction is vital.
'Children should be taught in schools how to spot fake news, the Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development’s education lead has said.
Andreas Schleicher said the ability to distinguish fact from fiction was essential in the modern
age and teachers were well placed to provide guidance.
“Distinguishing what is true from what is not true is a critical skill today,” said the thinktank’s
director for education and skills. “Exposing fake news, even being aware that there is something
like fake news, that there is something that is written that is not necessarily true, that you have to
question, think critically. That is very important.
This is something that we believe schools can do something about.”
The issue of fake news has been to the fore since the bitterly contested US election campaign,
when a number of made-up stories were widely circulated on social media.
Schleicher said it was not a matter of schools teaching a new subject, but of building skills to
help discern the truth into all lessons, from science to history.
“In the past, when you needed information, you went to an encyclopaedia, you looked it up,
and you could trust that information to be true,” he said.
Schleicher was speaking ahead of the annual Global Education and Skills Forum in Dubai,
where he will put forward the OECD’s plans to test young people’s attitudes to global issues
and different cultures, their analytical and critical skills, and abilities to interact with others.
He also raised concerns about what he considered to be another unhealthy modern development
– the potential for social media to reinforce a person’s own viewpoint and not challenge their
beliefs.
“Social media is designed to create an echo chamber,” he said. “We are likely to talk with people
who are like us. Who think similarly to us. “And that’s precisely, almost the antithesis, to global
competency.”.
Schleicher cited the example of young people from Europe going to fight for Islamic State,
turning “the multi-religious, multi-ethnic powerhouses of the Middle East back to a kind of
monoculture”.
He said: “That’s really I think an outcome of the thinking that there is only one truth and there’
only one way to live.
“I think that social media can reinforce that. The algorithms underpinning them tend to relate
people to people who are similar, rather than creating spaces for people to discuss debate
and find common ground.”
The computer-based “global competencies” tests will be taken by 15-year-olds around the
world alongside the OECD’s current reading, maths and science assessments, which are
conducted every three years.
The results of these assessments – and the rankings of about 70 countries and economies
based on the results – are seen as important by governments worldwide, including in the UK.
The tests will be taken next year, with the results published in 2019.
Schleicher said the assessment was about “the capacity of young people to see the world
through different perspectives, appreciate different ideas, be open to different cultures”...'

We follow rules and laws, we interact in a manner conducive with better survival rates
and we hope to promote our species as a civilised society. Ergo, we all tend to move in
the same direction and if those we deem custodians of this majority suggest means and
ways of bettering ourselves, natural societal-thought is that it's purely for our benefit and
holds no -or the least negative outcomes by following the suggestions.
But what happens when complacency sets in and those custodians believe a certain way
is correct that may have a negative impact? How is this action implemented to -not only
ensure the majority or 'Establishment' is kept secure, but to also ensure that this majority
will blindly accept these requirements and not peruse any possible shortfalls?
Well, the complacency alone assists. I would suggest that the Establishment would lean on
'This is how we are and we've gotten this far on our say-so, so surely we will be correct in
our actions'
And there's merit in that.
But how do you out-wit those who perceive the world in a manner that is opposed to
your own goals...? How do you deal with those who want the whole curtain pulled back
to see the full implications of societal control?
You indoctrinate the next generations to never perceive such ideals. You say "look this
way" and never even mention to not look the other way because your persuasion from
an early age, will make the subjects doubt the very thought of looking there -never mind
it's content.
Flying saucers don't exist, why? Because you're not currently sitting on the hull of one and
the Establishment has told you they don't exist. One reason is real only in the fact that you've
no sensory proof at this time.
The other is based on faith that if the information that the majority take in is generally
accepted, then rationality demands that it's true because of herd-instinct tends to shake
out as universally beneficial to all.
Hence, real!
But we never ask for proof, we never stop and question this subtle controlling because
we've been conditioned by those who we trusted within a family setting and society at
large, that what we're told is the correct information.
If the 'established' way is correct, then without the true reasons why the young should
be warned about dubious narratives should create suspicion. In my view, a person should
find their own way and not be 'corralled' to stay away from the flames.
Warnings from Elders are good, but the young should also be able to see the alleged
monsters behind the door.
