Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas is reportedly considering the development of tools that would help Americaâs children discern truth from lies and know when they are being fed âdisinformation.â
The Washington Times, which first reported the story, says a department spokesperson declined to give details, but that more information would be revealed âin the coming weeks.â
Mayorkas might want to start by fact-checking his recent claim that the U.S. southern border is âclosed.â He made the statement when news pictures showed waves of people crossing the border. Should kids believe him, or their âlying eyesâ?
Should anyone, regardless of political party or persuasion, be comfortable with government telling especially children what they can believe and whom they can trust? This is what totalitarian states do. Itâs called propaganda.
Vox published an article “debunking” the lab origin of SARS-CoV-2.
Vox called the lab theory another “conspiracy theory” – shaming any critical thinking into the matter.
At the time,
Vox had no concrete evidence to rule out the lab leak theory, let alone did they have any evidence to rule out the possibility that the virus was a bioweapon, released either accidentally or intentionally. Positioning themselves as the absolute authority on the topic,
Vox ruled out these possibilities, shutting out scientific debate on a field of research that has been controversial for several years, with a history of government funding and multinational collaboration.
