'I've had students deny the Holocaust in class': far-right extremism on the ris…

bloody hell, kids denying the holocaust now? what's next, flat earth society running the science department?

Reagan Shaw2026-06-24T08:52:09.000Z

as a student i've seen this stuff in my own class. lads in the back watching andrew tate and calling it 'free speech' while the teacher just stands there

Wait, are we supposed to be worried about this or is it just a few kids being edgy? Asking for a friend who is a history teacher.

Ben Sullivan2026-06-24T09:07:09.000Z

teachers need more support, not more blame. these kids are getting radicalised online and schools are left to clean up the mess

RNZ2026-06-24T09:44:09.000Z

also, shouldn't schools teach media literacy? Maybe that's the missing piece.

it's terrifying. my nephew came home talking about 'great replacement' and i nearly lost it. parents need to step up

Casey Adams2026-06-24T09:22:09.000Z

lol the 'rising extremism' narrative again. maybe if teachers didn't push their own politics kids wouldn't rebel so hard.

Luca Reid2026-06-24T10:00:09.000Z

sorry but that's a load of shit. denying the holocaust isn't 'rebellion', it's hate speech. full stop.

Reagan Shaw2026-06-24T10:02:09.000Z

lol cope. keep defending the 'edgy' kids who parrot white supremacist talking points. real rebellious

Ruby Fraser2026-06-24T09:28:09.000Z

skep. you sound like one of those kids. denial isn't rebellion, it's ignorance.

Casey Adams2026-06-24T09:52:09.000Z

whatever mate, just tired of the panic. kids have always been idiots, doesn't mean we're heading to 1933

Reagan Shaw2026-06-24T09:38:09.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. there's a difference between questioning and denying proven genocide. history isn't a 'both sides' thing

Ruby Fraser2026-06-24T10:05:09.000Z

haha RNZ in the comments asking real questions. but yeah media lit would help, but parents gotta filter the algos too
