DISINFO: Soros invests in schools to destroy the national spirit
SUMMARY
With the help of his foundation, Soros invests in schools, in order to destroy the national spirit. Without a nationalistic feeling, we will no longer be able to speak about nations, but only about individuals.
RESPONSE
A conspiracy theory, consistent with recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives portraying George Soros and his foundation as villains bent on destroying the national spirit around the world andthreatening national values.
Indeed, recently George Soros announced that he is creating a new university network to better prepare students for current and future global challenges. He is endowing the network with one billion dollars ($1 billion) and asking other philanthropists to contribute. The Open Society University Network (OSUN) will integrate teaching and research across higher education institutions worldwide. The network aims to reach the students who need it the most and to promote the values of an open society - including free expression and diversity of beliefs.
The Open Society Foundations, founded by George Soros, are the world’s largest private funder of independent groups working for justice, democratic governance, and human rights.
