Autistic folks are _heavily_ represented in STEM fields, so it would be far more accurate to say:

Autism causes vaccines.

This is a really interesting ECSJ article for those thinking about the connections between citizenship and religious education - makes a strong case for using ‘world views’ to bring coherence to teaching journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

It was Green Party policy to champion citizenship education I think, maybe the message got lost

This article explains some of the educational mess we’ve got ourselves into… The curriculum review really should address implementation as well as simply listing content that can be ignored, but even that only addresses the problems in England www.jsse.org/index.php/js...

One approach is to teach about the ‘values’ as concepts to be applied to encourage critical and evaluative thinking about contemporary issues. Otherwise I think the idea of ‘promoting’ democracy or the rule of law as ‘values’ can avoid the political dimension. openjournals.ljmu.ac.uk/prism/articl...

Sadly, I think we've been teaching digital/media literacy all wrong. Instead of focusing on teaching people how to be skeptical and spot manipulation, we should focus on teaching people how these systems work so they can effectively use them to share their messages and promote their values.

Citizenship speeds up the economic, educational, political and social integration of immigrants.

And yet, several EU countries (e.g. 🇩🇪🇫🇷🇫🇮) have recently made obtaining citizenship more difficult, or plan to do so.

Good that the 🇮🇹 referendum on 8/9 June
points into a different direction.

Maarten Vink @maartenpvink.bsky.social · May 31

Academic studies consistently show that access to citizenship has positive effects. Immigrants who become citizens experience lower unemployment, earn higher income, less likely to be overqualified for jobs & experience stronger sense of belonging
