Training|According to the Heinola city councilor of the Basic Finns, the opening of the high school textbook that presents the values and goals of the parliamentary parties has politically biased content.
The summary is made by artificial intelligence and checked by a human.
Heinola’s city councilor Harri Salonen (ps) proposes removing the opening in the high school social studies book in the council’s initiative.
According to Salonen, the opening is politically charged and skewed.
By opening, all parliamentary parties are briefly introduced.
The parties are told when they were founded, what their core values and goals are, and where they get their support from.
Coalition supports individual responsibility for one’s own life, environmental protection is important to the greens. Basic Finns is a nationalist party, while the activities of the Christian Democrats are based on Christian values. The Left Alliance and Sdp, on the other hand, share similar left-wing values, although the Democrats are more moderate in their line.
Among other things, this is how the values and goals of the parliamentary parties are described on the pages of the high school social studies book, which the Heinola representative of the Basic Finns and the vice-chairman of the welfare board Harri Salonen would like to delete.
This week, Salonen made a council initiative in which he proposes removing the opening of the Forum social studies 1 book, because it is politically charged and biased.
By opening, all parliamentary parties are briefly introduced. In addition to values and goals, each party is told when the parties were founded and where they get most of their support.
Initiative according to the political charge can be seen, for example, in the fact that only basic Finns are spoken of as a populist party.
The book says that Perussuomalaiset was founded in the 1990s and that it is “a populist and nationalist party that emphasizes Finnish identity and says it is in the cause of the common people”. For other parties, populism is not mentioned.
In addition, the party is said to be critical of the European Union and oppose immigration.
Salonen’s initiative also criticizes the fact that equality is not mentioned as an important value for the center and right-wing parties.
The book directly mentions that the left coalition, Sdp and the Greens either emphasize or strive for equality. The center is also said to defend regional equality.
Rkp, on the other hand, is described as a liberal right-wing party that opposes the weakening of the status of the Swedish language and advocates, among other things, the rights of minorities.
In its initiation Salonen suggests that the city of Heinola should add a note to the pages that it is not teaching material approved by the organizer of the teaching.
“If you think that public education should be politically non-committal, these two pages do not seem suitable for that,” Salonen told HS.
The high school lecturer who was involved in writing the book Antti Kohin according to aukema, the parties’ own publications, election programs and websites and research literature have been used as sources.
“So there shouldn’t be any claims that don’t stand the light of day from a scientific point of view,” he told HS.
Correction 9.10. at 12:30 p.m.: Antti Koh’s title is lecturer, not principal, as was incorrectly written earlier in the story.
