外国人留学生には学費免除と10数万円の生活費が税金から支払われる
Publisher’s rating: 不正確
Japan’s government does provide tuition waivers and monthly stipends to some foreign students, but the review says the scheme does not cover all foreign students: government-funded students were about 3.2% of the total in 2023. The review therefore finds the claim misleading because it suggests the support applies broadly.

Die WHO hat Standards für den Sexualkundeunterricht entwickelt, so sollen im Unterricht Kinder im Umgang mit Dildos, Liebeskugeln und Lederpeitsche ausgebildet werden.
Publisher’s rating: Das ist falsch. Abgesehen davon, dass WHO-Standards lediglich Empfehlungen sind und keine gesetzlichen Vorgaben, wird an keiner Stelle Lehrkräften empfohlen, Sexspielzeug oder Pornografie im Unterricht einzusetzen.
The review says the claim is false: WHO standards are recommendations, not legal requirements, and do not recommend using sex toys or pornography in lessons. It reports that the standards address child development and questions children may raise, not instruction to promote those activities.
Ein Lehrer wird in Irland verhaftet weil er nicht die Transideologie anerkennen und lehren will.
Publisher’s rating: Enoch Burke wurde verhaftet, weil er gegen Gerichtsentscheidungen verstoßen hatte. Er kehrte wiederholt an seine Schule zurück, die ihn erst suspendiert und später entlassen hatte, obwohl ein Gericht ihm das Erscheinen dort verbot. Die Affäre begann zwar mit einem Streit darum, wie ein Kind in dem Internat angesprochen werden wollte, doch das war nicht Anlass der Festnahme.
The review says Burke was arrested for violating a court order barring him from the school, not for his views on gender. The dispute over how to address a student was part of the background, but the court proceedings concerned his repeated return to the school despite the access ban.
Kamala Harris is lying about being the second integrated class at her school, because there was no school segregation in California.
Publisher’s rating: False
Enoch Burke, enseignant irlandais, a été arrêté pour avoir refusé d'utiliser le pronom « elle » pour un élève de sexe masculin.
Publisher’s rating: Enoch Burke a été arrêté pour avoir ignoré, à plusieurs occasions, une ordonnance d'un tribunal lui empêchant de se rendre sur les lieux de l'école où il était précédemment employé. L'affaire est certes née de son refus d'utiliser le bon pronom d'un·e élève, mais ce n'est pas pour cette raison spécifique qu'il a été incarcéré.
The review says Burke was imprisoned for repeatedly disobeying a court order barring him from the school, not specifically for refusing to use the student's chosen pronoun. The dispute began after he refused the school's request to use the student's chosen name and pronoun, citing his religious beliefs.
