Is it true that LGBT skewers opened in Ukrainian schools?

At the turn of August and September 2023, in social networks and the media, the news spread that in the western regions of Ukraine “cool hours of tolerance and propaganda of LGBT” were supposedly held. The evidence was three screenshots of the sites of Ukrainian schools. We checked these messages for reliability.

If you believe numerous posts in social networks, similar to LGBT circles Open For primary school students. In many publications It is notedthat classes are still optional to visit. “But since they are opened, then there is a demand. Are they preparing for Europe? " -the author of Telegram channel argues "Before everyone else. Well, almost. Special operation"(11,000 views at the time of writing this analysis). ReportedThat in such lessons children will instill “new European thinking” and “freedom of sexual choice”. In the channel Rogandar News (48,000 views) specifies: “What will happen in the classroom is incomprehensible, but it is definitely clear that the preparation of children“ for Europe ”is in full swing.”

Similar publications appeared in Telegram channels "Two major"(165,000 views),"Alexander Semchenko"(86 000),"Gasparyan"(72 000),"Moldings of the militia of Novorossiya Z.O.V."(38 000), Nina Vatt (33,000), "Skeptic"(30,000),"Summary"(22,000),"Mikhalkov in Telegram"(16,000),"Scott Ritter in Telegram"(14,000) and"Shaman Rahu"(3000 views), as well as in Twitter And Livejournal. Among the media and news sites about LGBT circles in Ukrainian schools, they told the TV channel "Ren-TV","News","Mriya" And "ZOV Zaporozhye".

In total, three screenshots from the sites of different Ukrainian educational institutions are distributed over the network. Below we will separately analyze these viral screenshots.

Lyceum No. 4 of the Ivano-Frankivsk City Council

According to the distributed screenshot, on the official website of this educational institution in the “Parents” section there is a record under the heading of “LGBT-circle”.

To the attention of parents!
We inform that from September 7, extracurricular circles and sections begin to work in our wonderful school. The direction of LGBT education for children from eight years old was completely new. Classes are held for a fee in small groups. Estimates and points are placed in a special diary of tolerance, which at the end of school will leave warm memories and will help when applying for European companies. Discounts and free training apply for:
- children with special educational needs studying in special and inclusive classes (groups), (mode (multiplicity) of food: breakfast, lunch, cost depends on the age group);
- Children from families receiving assistance in accordance with the Law of Ukraine “On State Social Assistance to Little Steven Families” (regime (multiplicity) of food: breakfast, lunch ...

“Verified” studied the lyceum website and did not find such an ad. The last news in the "Parents" section concerns school food, and in it is really among others listed The above two categories of students, however, there were no references to LGBT rogues in the text. The site said that parents and guardians of children with special needs and from low -income families will be exempted from payment of hot meals. In the "Parents" section there is only one subsection - On the rules of admission to the lyceum, and information about the work of circles illuminated In another section of the site - it is called the "educational process."

Apparently, unknown people simply changed the name of the “Parents” section on the “LGBT-circle” and replaced the beginning of the original text, unable to correctly combine the real and false parts. As a result, there was a disagreement of words on cases: "Children claim."

Our colleagues from the Stopfake Factics Camping Project Turned For a comment in the lyceum, and there they confirmed that information about the opening of a LGBT circle is not true.

Lyceum No. 29 in Vinnitsa

According to the second screenshot, on August 28, news under the heading “Tolerance and freedom of choice for younger students” allegedly appeared on the website of this educational institution. The short description of the content of the note says: “Dear parents! On a voluntary basis, you have the opportunity to record your kids on the program of European solidarization. The teacher will introduce the basics of sexual tolerance and freedom of choice ... "

In this case, “verified” also could not find such a text on the lyceum website. Moreover, according to Section With the news, on August 28, no ads appeared there. At the same time, in the viral screenshot, the section is indicated as the “news archive”, while in reality at the beginning Must Stand the word "category". According to the site search, the word "tolerance" It was mentioned There are four times and only in 2021–2022.

Ternopol secondary school No. 13 named after Andrei Yurkevich

The screenshot shows an announcement of “enrolling to the class of tolerance”, allegedly published on the official website of the school.

We remind you of the obligation to pay contributions until September 1 for attending additional classes on LGBT and freedom of choice!

Important:

  • All classes are conducted by professional liberated psychologists with European certificates. We are talking not only about sexual issues, but also about unique thinking and the desire for spirituality without borders.

Under the heading there is a link to order "On enrolling children in the institution of general secondary education for the 2023–2024 academic year." "Verified" established that in reality this document is placed in section entitled “Enrollment in the 1st Grade”, where there are no mentions of LGBT, but it was this page of the site, apparently, that became the basis of edited image. Moreover, according to search, the site never used such an abbreviation.

At the time of publication of this analysis, representatives of the Lyceum No. 29 and school No. 13 did not respond to the requests of “verified”.

Thus, all three screenshots were forged. The earliest publication with the fakes that was able to find “verified” was placed in the Telegram channel “Zlaya Pruf"(146,000 views) August 30, 2023 at 16:15 Moscow time. Earlier from the same channel It began The spread of a similar fake - supposedly in Ukrainian universities there were courses on shooting pornography. Then three fake screenshots were also created, but pages of university sites.
