Why do your think they are being indoctrinated into a particular ideology rather than for example celebrating the national day of some of their fellow students? What is the context of this picture?

This shit annoys me. Schools are quite literally the perfect place to explore ideology. Politics is completely opaque and confusing for kids because they aren’t being taught that different people have different ideas about how society should look based on their personal circumstances. This is why people are so easily influenced by fascists who market their programme as “straight-talking common sense”. Ideology is practically built-in to the human psyche and people should be conscious of when others are trying to imfluence them. Rant over.

So I actually did a reverse image search and found the picture if from a video promoting a UK-Ukrainian Schools Partnership to share the joy of reading across borders. It’s hardly indoctrination.

Agreed, the lack of understanding for kids makes it even more troublesome down the line. Even if focus on politics was given to grown teenagers, it would have some impact - but alas, it isn’t even on the curriculum.
