CYBEREVOLUTION

Apparently we could be openly indoctrinating future generations in our schools on “Core British Values” - Read Here, don’t get me wrong I am a patriot; but when you read reports like this one and I quote:

“Government ministers believe citizenship classes, which may in future be required to cover core “British values”, will help reduce extremism and violence among young people.”

This hints dangerously at indoctrination of the young, which is on shakey ethical ground at best.  This is best left to the realm of Religious fad in my opinion.  Admittedly it must be difficult to strike the correct balance in order to educate without indcotrination to a certain degree, but let’s set the ground rules first eh?  Indoctrination in education is inescapable but it is unforgivable to allow either political or religious indoctrination to creep in - this takes away one of the few freedoms all citizens regardless of culture or background should enjoy - “CHOICE” - oooh I know!!  Let’s teach ALL five years olds that by the time they reach voting age although they CAN vote, they ought to only vote for Labour!

When I read stories like this (and I know the media likes to put spin on things so there is a lot of salt with this one) I get this awful feeling the UK will end up like some totalitarian state by the time it’s 2012!!

Are we to creep back to the draconian ways of the Victorian era?  Or is this a new horror altogether worse than that!
