    In Germany it’s normal to discuss politics in school, is even part of the curriculum. It’s just highly prohibited to discuss parties.

        You are allowed to mention them and explain what they officially stand for, we even made roleplays, to simulate how the parliament works (the class was distributed into parties according to the distribution of Parliament at that time and everybody tried to pass a law), it’s too tricky for me to explain the fineprint in english , sorry ;)

      It is in America too. I had to debate shit like gay marriage in high school. We even have mandatory civics classes that teach you how the government works and my teacher told us how jury nullification works and why you should never talk to cops

        We sure do NOT have universally mandatory civics, not anymore. I graduated in 09 and my school district didn’t teach anyone anything beyond the basics of the voting system.

    Wait… y’all have restrictions about that? In my school, only the teachers aren’t allowed to be biased (they are, still tho)

    Everything is politics, and should be talked about.

    Also this would’ve been much more fitting with the Luhansk or Donetsk flags instead of the Kiev regime’s, since the post-2014 coup government did commit a genocide in Eastern Ukraine.

      You’d have to be completely out of your mind to call the Donbas war a genocide. And that’s coming from Russian national who frequently calls out Ukraine government for being the same sort of garbage as Russian, if not much worse.

      So unless this is some form of high level meta-sarcasm and/or trolling, I’d advise you and everyone who upvoted this to seek therapy.

      Yes. It’s a screenshot of our template for the r/place. I included Ukraine because some people disliked it too
