Macabre Indoctrination
Education used as a vehicle for sowing jihadist violence in open societies.
A situation in Spain that is being replicated in other European countries and in the United States.
Sometimes, parents and grandparents are invited to attend school events and celebrations, where the adults enjoy watching their little ones perform, sing, and enjoy themselves.
This year, I have had the opportunity to attend several events in which children took part in plays or musical performances steeped in woke ideology. I have witnessed performances about anti-imperialist uprisings, as well as a drag queen hosting an audience of six-year-old children in a theatre.
The most disturbing example of the indoctrination of minors was reported by various media outlets some time ago: at a state school in Madrid, a group of children wearing uniforms and carrying replica weapons, staged a performance portraying Hamas terrorists in the name of the “liberation of Palestine”.
In some state schools in Barcelona, one can find posters expressing support for the jihadist struggle, mostly disguised as acts of solidarity or emotional identification. Campaigns featuring the friendly image of a watermelon call for an end to a genocide that does not exist. In September 2025, some educational establishments in Catalonia also held a day dedicated to this cause, organised by trade union bodies.
A child's mind is like fresh cement: experiences within the educational environment leave imprints that remain there for years to come.
Whenever an international conflict is turned into a school cause, the boundary between education and propaganda is erased. And when such propaganda is aimed at the youngest members of society, we are witnessing a profoundly irresponsible attempt to radicalise children.
Schools should have no place for such practices. Teachers must not act as moral commissars, nor should classrooms become arenas for emotional and political manipulation. Their role is not to dictate which causes deserve support, but to teach children how to think, compare, question and analyze sources, while setting aside ideological bias.
Educating children in values does not mean indoctrinating them into a particular cause, especially when that cause advocates the elimination of a human group — in this case, the Jews. Teaching values means providing people with the tools they need so that, once they have developed sound judgement and maturity, they can decide for themselves how to respond to injustice.
Should the authorities responsible for education allow this aggressive indoctrination of children to continue?
Do parents really want their children to become martyrs, or to embrace the law of Islamic Sharia?
Jihadist propaganda is widespread across the media, politics, and social networks, disguised as a struggle for human rights. Any gesture that draws attention to what is, in reality, disinformation, ignorance, and Judeophobia can be exploited to spread lies, impose dogma and inculcate hatred and resentment through deeply emotional appeals.
Encouraged by the highest levels of political power, every sphere of society seems today hostile to the values of coexistence and freedom that took Western democracies centuries to achieve. Woke ideology has seeped into social institutions, spreading its anti-establishment poison. The West is sinking into the darkest waters of obscurantism.
In this upside-down world, LGBT organisations support those who want to murder them; feminist groups stand alongside those who punish women and deny them their rights; journalists praise those who impose totalitarian censorship; trade unionists lend their support to those who grant their workers no rights whatsoever; and certain teachers' organisations become accomplices of those who allow education in their countries only under the dictates of Sharia law.
There seems to be no memory left of the terrorist attacks on Barcelona, Madrid, London, Paris, Nice, New York, or Buenos Aires—attacks carried out by operatives of Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS, and Al-Qaeda, with the backing of well-known dictatorships and monarchies.
By trivialising jihadism and failing to protect their children's education, the West is paving the way towards its own catastrophe, surrendering itself to self-destruction. Image Credits: AI-generated editorial illustration.
