So I& #39;ve mentioned that a British fascist group called Patriotic Alliance are putting out their own home schooling curriculum. I& #39;ve finally managed to look at it and well, buckle up... /1
The first document on offer is titled & #39;Be Proud Of Your People& #39; and promises parents and kids activities to inspire pride in & #39;British and European peoples& #39;.
For some reason, it kicks off with a description of Black Lives Matter (?) as a Soros-funded Marxist organisation. /2

Then, when suggesting activities to highlight the achievements of British ancestors, they encourage the discussion of the & #39;true intentions of BLM& #39; that can be found at the beginning of the document (?) /3.
The document suggests parents show kids videos by Laura Towler & Mark Collett, the two figureheads of the movement.
For those of you new to observing the British Far Right, Laura Towler edited the racist & #39;Defend Evropa& #39; and Mark Collett has described himself as a Neo-Nazi. /4

An article supposedly celebrating the great British/European tradition of heroic poetry ends up talking about & #39;unchecked floods of outsiders& #39; and how & #39;honour, kindness and acceptance has also been our weakness& #39;. /5
The next few pages talk about how great pre-Raphaelite painters are, how beautiful the British countryside is, and the beauty of folk music. Fair enough, until you come across lines that wouldn& #39;t seem out of line in Jihadist material. /6
There& #39;s some seriously historically dubious stuff in the article discussing British engineering... /7
Way more historically dubious, and really rather sketchy is the text that ends the document.
(I& #39;m not even going to dwell on the & #39;OK& #39; sign.) /8

Along with some historically dubious language - & #39;barbarian invaders& #39;, & #39;ride in and destroy everything& #39; - there& #39;s a really sinister subtext to this PowerPoint on the & #39;End of the Classical World& #39;. /9
...and that& #39;s about it. Everything else they& #39;ve put up is taken from elsewhere. The only stuff that Patriotic Alternative has come up with, are those with a specific ideological edge, bordering on extremism - cf. & #39;fighting for her land& #39;, & #39;kindness has been our weakness& #39;. /10
It& #39;s supremely dodgy stuff. They& #39;re definitely playing safe, but there& #39;s enough poking through that the same PA folks would be howling if similar materials turned up in an Islamic or Jewish school. /11
Now, Patriotic Alternative are claiming that these materials were created by teachers.
If they were, they& #39;re in breach of the Teaching Standards. /12

If you& #39;re in the UK, and you think that this constitutes an attempt to radicalise, you can report this material to the police. /FIN https://www.ltai.info/ ">https://www.ltai.info/">...
