Democrat New York Gov. Kathy Hochul
announced she’s forming an Orwellian Truth Ministry for public school
students where they’ll be trained to hunt down so-called
“misinformation.”
“Today, I’m directing the Director of the Division of Homeland
Security and Emergency Services to develop media literacy tools for K
-12 in our public schools,” Hochul declared Tuesday.
“This will teach students and even teachers to help understand how to
spot conspiracy theories and misinformation, disinformation and online
hate,” she added.
“Start talking about what we’re seeing out there. Give the teachers
the tools they need to help these conversations in school. And by
teaching younger New Yorkers about how to discern between digital fact
and digital fiction, we can better inoculate them from hatred and the
spread of it.”
This marks the Democrat governor’s latest effort to shape the views
of the people of New York using Israel’s war against Palestine as the
pretext, with Hochul earlier this month saying she’d implement a surveillance grid on social media to monitor “hate speech.”
“…We’re very focused on the data we’re collecting from surveillance
efforts, what’s being said on social media platforms, and we have
launched an effort to be able to counter some of the negativity and
reach out to people,” Hochul said.
“When we see hate speech being spoken about on online platforms, our
media analysis, our social media analysis unit has ramped up its
monitoring of sites to catch incitement to violence, direct threats to
others.”
To be clear, the US Supreme Court has consistently affirmed there is no exception for “hate speech” under the First Amendment.
The governor’s moves to clamp down on internet freedom are
illustrative of how the police state has capitalized on the Israel war
to justify furthering its surveillance panopticon.
