The second most prominent one was a Black Lives Matter protest. (very political, no need to say)

2019-02-12 18:12:41 UTC  

Also very largely sized, was a picture of the feminist logo (♀️ with a = in the middle)

2019-02-12 18:14:26 UTC  

Me and a friend of mine complained about how she was promoting feminism. He went on a very short discussion which ended up to the pay gap. The teacher said that she can discuss that later, when she can show some statistics. She then proceeded with the class as normal. The discussion itself never continued during or after the lesson.

An unrelated but interesting thing I found is that our English books used terms like "white male" a few times.

2019-02-12 18:15:24 UTC  

in negative ways, of course

2019-02-12 18:20:03 UTC  

if you are not in an english speaking country, why are you learning about American activism?

2019-02-12 18:20:10 UTC  

Black Lives Matter is quite distinctly American

2019-02-12 18:20:35 UTC  

I'm willing to bet the Feminist footage was from US marches as well

2019-02-12 18:21:11 UTC  

An excercise on our book I also find particularily interesting.

[7] How to: Show everyday courage and support

a) What could you say in the following situations?
Look at the phrases on the right for ideas.

In an expensive shop: You have just been treated very well by a shop assistant. She then turns to a poor-looking **girl** your age and tells her that maybe she should try one of the cheaper shops down the street. **You think it's awful**.

2019-02-12 18:21:29 UTC  

It was from US marches indeed

2019-02-12 18:21:49 UTC  

do you mind if I ask which country this is?

2019-02-12 18:21:52 UTC  

Germany

2019-02-12 18:22:09 UTC  

thats extremely confusing

2019-02-12 18:23:53 UTC  

Thanks @S8N, if you have more let me know. Your English is very good by the way. :) I never realized you're German.

2019-02-12 18:24:39 UTC  

heh, I'm actually Romanian. Moved to Germany with my parents because of job opportunities

2019-02-12 18:25:20 UTC  

how you like Germany?

2019-02-12 18:25:28 UTC  

It's a great country with great people

2019-02-12 18:25:59 UTC  

I had no idea that Germany has gender quality issues, I thought they were one of the more gender equal countries in the world

2019-02-12 18:26:46 UTC  

and, I just noticed

2019-02-12 18:26:48 UTC  

My book

2019-02-12 18:26:51 UTC  

straight at the Unit start

2019-02-12 18:27:13 UTC  

"Are there enough women in positions of power?"

"White males still dominate business in North America and Europe. For how much longer?"

2019-02-12 18:27:25 UTC  

This is what our **English language learning class** teaches us

2019-02-12 18:27:50 UTC  

i'll try to send some pictures if i can

2019-02-12 18:28:29 UTC  

I wonder if those books were written in the US

2019-02-12 18:29:08 UTC  

because that is psyhotically political for a language lessons book

2019-02-12 18:29:41 UTC  

I did not get political lessons in my Japanese Language books

2019-02-12 18:32:06 UTC  

so you're telling me... the GREATEST HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUE IN THE WORLD... is feminism?

2019-02-12 18:32:13 UTC  

or rather that book is telling me that

2019-02-12 18:32:27 UTC  

jesus christ that is delusional

2019-02-12 18:33:07 UTC  

@Men Are Human you can use that picture in the article btw. I think it's important to show how schools around the world induct their children into political views in unrelated classes.

2019-02-12 18:34:05 UTC  

I like how the only two words visible on the bottom left are Equality and Protest

2019-02-12 18:34:42 UTC  

Social justice and classes about racism are being implemented into our school this year, to a degree

2019-02-12 18:35:00 UTC  

our class is testing new projects (WPU) before they're rolled out to the rest of the school

2019-02-12 18:35:08 UTC  

they're largely social topics like "racism"

2019-02-12 18:36:40 UTC  

its actually very scrary the amount of indoctrination this feels like

2019-02-12 18:45:05 UTC  

Oh, and this is a song text put in positive light

2019-02-12 18:45:06 UTC  

in our English book

2019-02-12 18:45:12 UTC  

yes, the prostitute-looking girl is there

2019-02-12 20:34:15 UTC  

i just convinced a classmate that feminism is nothing good to society
