  • A group of former teachers and a cryptocurrency trader are teaching at a suspected illegal school, Universallkidz in Manchester, in which children are being educated to become the next generation of conspiracy theorists. The Times’ Tom Ball went undercover as a teacher to find out more.

    What about teaching that a prophet can marry a 6 year old girl? Investigate Izloom

    The only thing this school got right is to not trust the government, but everything else they're teaching these kids is a load of nonsense! Waisting their time in the best years they have to learn and excel.

      @@queenstreetsystems I'm not being paid for my comments, so why should I care to make sure every word is spelt correctly and the grammar is all proper? I only give time and attention when I'm incentivised to do so, which would be for a real endeavour, not for randomers on the internet.

    I agree with a lot of what this school does, a lot of kids would be happy learning foraging and survival skills. Its increasingly sad along with the outdoorsy stuff they're learning total nonsense.

    An alternative to the mainstream get scathing review by the mainstream...a space that honours young peoples education enough to set up an alternative to indoctrination mainstream schools. These guys just need more support to allow more input to make this flourish, they put the children at the heart of what they do, edited to show them in a bad light!

      "encourages critical thinking" Like telling the child that said "I can feel the crystal on my forehead" not to be clever?
      "trust your instincts" from what the reporter said, the children's instincts seemed to be "What is this bo!!ocks?"

    Eating insects is ecologically sound, an excellent source of protein, either in animal feed or for human consumption, though I confess I haven't tried it yet. *:)*
    I do wonder if the conspiracy school will have a reverse psychology effect instead, a kind of prebunking inoculation against believing in chemtrails, the opposite of what the parents and teachers there intend?
