The leftists are now invading your children’s school and you should be ready for this.
We previously reported how all channels in the Airports were required to only have a CNN network, now they are after your children too. They are planning to set the same thing to your kids’ schools and this time with leftist “fact-checker” NewsGuard.
Social media users now can see the so-called “fact checks” that pop up beneath certain posts and links. The said fact checks purportedly inform readers that the information contained in the flagged post is either incorrect or lacks sufficient context.
However, it seems like it’s going in a different way, this is after many conservatives have expressed that the fact-checker often leads to liberal bias and only diminishes the reach of right-wing content.
And to think it will happen inside the schools sounds very concerning. This is after some parents are worried that a similar tactic will be employed in the nation’s public school classrooms.
The controversy stems from a new deal between education officials and a service known as NewsGuard.
Here’s an excerpt from Axios report:
NewsGuard, a service that uses trained journalists to rate news and information sites, will become available to millions of public school students this week through a partnership with the American Federation of Teachers.
Why it matters: Kids increasingly turn to the internet when looking for homework help or doing research for school projects. But unlike books in a library or articles in a journal, online resources can be difficult to filter for quality and misinformation.
News of this partnership quickly resulted in social media backlash from critics across the ideological spectrum.
Leftist, “credibility” arbiter @NewsGuardRating is threatening the quality and integrity of the education system in every state.

Did you know: There’s this company that partners with the U.S. government & the WHO called NewsGuard to suppress Americans’ free speech?

A lot of reasons surfaced why parents should be worried about their children for some potentially dangerous development.
One of the most prominent concerns is related to NewsGuard’s corporate connections.
The Defender also explained:
Helping children become more media literate and better able to spot misinformation online appears, at face value, to be a noble goal.
However, a closer look at NewsGuard’s advisers, partners and investors reveals a web of interests closely linked to the military, intelligence, media and political establishments, as well as to the world of corporate marketing — including an advertising agency sued for illegally marketing opioids.
Since its inception, NewsGuard has attracted skepticism and courted controversy — including in the form of this 2019 news segment.

If you are a parent and have children attending school, then you should be worried about this partnership between public schools and NewsGuard too.
