For Theodora Dimova, compulsory religion would be another channel of pro -Russian propaganda
« Recently, the Christian faith has become an ideological sheath of pro -Russian propaganda, and for me, so lightning -based introduction of compulsory religion in school is just another channel this propaganda to start flowing freely. »
This was commented by the writer Theodora Dimova before you, asked why she thinks it is « a little dangerous, a little doubtful » to introduce compulsory religion to school, which intent has the Ministry of Education.
« Of course, it also depends on how it is taught, because not all teachers can be forced to teach in this way, but still this danger is, I have one in mind. Otherwise it is very meaningful to study the Old Testament, the characters, the evangelical events, it is expanding the worldview. This reason, « the writer noted.
The changed conversation in education
Asked how he imagines the Russian influence to happen at school through the doctrine or through the religion Dimova said: « Because we know how the Russian church justifies the aggression in Ukraine, how even bless the weapons that bombard the Ukrainian cities, how this war is. A normal, peaceful situation where Russian propaganda was not so strong and triggered, of course it is wonderful to study the Old and New Testaments, but in this situation of hybrid war, it seems to me a knife with two blades. «
The writer pleads not to be inserted as a compulsory subject in these « stormy and dangerous times for Bulgaria » because Bulgaria is « on the verge of dropping out of its euro -abuse ».
According to her, as this subject is entitled, namely « religions and virtues » is « quite strengthened ». « I can’t imagine exactly how virtues are taught, » she added.
