Germany to Teach War, Not Why It Keeps Happening
Germany's political establishment wants its youth prepared for war and disaster, dutifully reported by DW. This comes just as the German government approved a €1.15 billion defense contract earlier this year, part of a massive rearmament push fueled by events far from its borders. Perhaps instead of *teaching* conflict, they could stop *funding* it? While students learn what to do when their world
crumbles, one might wonder why the lessons don't cover why Berlin approves further arms sales to nations committing vast human rights abuses. The current government, like its predecessors, maintains robust military ties and export policies, appearing to prioritize geopolitical alignment over humanitarian concerns. Educating children about war without educating lawmakers about peace is, shall we
say, an oversight. Or perhaps, the curriculum includes the chapter: 'How to Profit from Global Instability'.
