>Hungary PM Viktor Orban aims to militarize the school system
>Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is moving to introduce compulsory military training in schools. It is a grim reminder of the country's totalitarian past that has raised fears of 'idealogical indoctrination.'
>Marching in step, shooting practice, hand grenade training, watching patriotic propaganda films, flag salutes and commemorating war heroes were part of everyday life during the communist era in Eastern Europe. Such practices are a cornerstone of military education in totalitarian states. After the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989, the communist-bloc countries in central and southeastern Europe silently abolished their notorious defense training. This was one of the region's few education reform measures for which such a clear social consensus existed.
>Now, however, compulsory military training is being reintroduced in Hungarian schools for children and teens. The Ministry of Human Capacities - a sort of superministry for social affairs, education, youth, family, health, culture and sport - and the Ministry of Defense were instructed by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban last month to develop a patriotic homeland defense school ducation program by the end of the year to foster patriotism and defense readiness.

>Marching in step
Nothing wrong with that. Its actually hard to do and requires a good deal of discipline to do it right.
> shooting practice,
Used to exist in US schools. Only disappeared because of the modern Left.
>hand grenade training
Thats pretty badass
>watching patriotic propaganda films
What class doesn't have an AV cart these days? Better than watching a Disney movie as time filler.
> flag salutes
Everyone should salute their flag and say their respective pledge.
If they making reading literature a more regimented thing to ensure students are actually tackling and learning the material they'll end up with a fine crop of young men ready to lead their country to prosperity.
Sounds pretty based.
