Hello, I just made a new community for those who are looking for free/libre and useful resources for furthering their education.

      These days “educational” usually means some form of indoctrination or brainwashing. It also usually means a curriculum that promotes and fosters a student attitude of blind acceptance of whatever is presented to them in the classroom, no matter how insane or ridiculous it might actually be.

      I was afraid someone would bring this up. I pick and post resources that are licensed with something that could prove beneficial for the internet community, e.g. something you can take, adjust it and make it your own in case you feel the original doesn’t bode with your personal preference or political stance(s). Additionally, I try my best to post resources that aren’t specifically teaching History, Geography or the likes to avoid a wildfire in the comments (however, that’s not to say History and Geography resources aren’t allowed, far from it.)

      Also, you lost me when you started to describe an example about… what now? I literally created the community a day ago, you’re welcome to contribute to it if you want to.

      Take a deep breath, forget them wild preconceptions about this site and the community and take a look at c/open_e_resources to see if it confirms your presumptions, I’m sure you’ll find something you’ll like.
