Education promotes a belief system which in turn supports the ruling class.
Geography
In the UK, the education system tells us there are seven continents in the world: Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia/Oceania, Europe, North America, and South America.
In the Russia, the education system tells us there are six continents in the world: Africa, Antarctica, Australia/Oceania, Eurasia, North America, and South America.
The very thought that continents are so large they are unchanging, but, alas what is taught is very different, it could be considered semantics, but, I suggest this is propaganda supporting the elite to educate their populations for their own ends.
History
In USA, the education system tells us Thomas Edison invented the light bulb
In the UK, the BBC tells us that Joseph Swan invented it and built the first light bulb factory in the world in Newcastle.
History is famously thought of as written by the victors, I would also add, history is also written for simplicity, nuanced narrative is much harder to codify than a binary message.
Science
Indonesia world’s largest Muslim-majority nation and the third most populous democracy. A sample of Biology Professors embraced creationism without accepting the theory of evolution by natural selection.[0]
As late as 1987, the U.S.A were still arguing over whether Creationism was a science. [1]
How can we expect balanced teaching where the leading thinkers and educators do not entirely believe in something that we all accept as sound science?
To quote Orwell:
“All propaganda is lies, even when one is telling the truth”
All advertising is propaganda, we are sold on shiny images, snappy slogans, and trusted endorsements. The hardest propaganda message to deliver would be Sapere aude, “dare to think”. Thus, I now present you lucky few with my propaganda.
