As American classrooms obsess over pronoun usage and gender identity debates, Poland is taking a drastically different approach: preparing its children to face real-world threats.
The Polish government has now made firearms training a mandatory part of primary school education, prioritizing national security and self-reliance over a woke agenda.
At schools like the Nicholas Cernus Primary School in Skaryszew, students as young as 13 and 14 are learning to handle rifles and pistols under the supervision of trained professionals.
Instead of live ammunition, students train using ball guns, air guns, small arms replicas, and virtual or laser-based shooting systems, where a green light indicates a successful hit, according to The Express.
Students describe the experience as both “cool” and “fun,” but the underlying message is clear – readiness for future threats.
Poland, sharing a border with war-torn Ukraine, has felt increasingly threatened by Russia’s invasion. The Ministry of Education emphasized that equipping young people with basic firearm knowledge is critical for national defense and resilience.
“The current challenges and threats require supplementing the goals of education and teaching content with issues related to state defense, acquiring shooting skills, and preparing students to cope with threats caused by hostilities,” said the Polish Ministry of Education and Science.
Meanwhile, American schools remain bogged down with ideological battles.
Across the United States, public education has strayed far from its intended purpose.
Parents are waking up to the reality that their children are not being taught critical skills like mathematics, science, and history, but instead subjected to leftist ideologies.
Classrooms are increasingly filled with lessons on gender theory, critical race theory, and radical political agendas disguised as modern curriculum.
Teachers’ unions and progressive policymakers continue to push divisive, anti-American narratives, eroding the values of self-reliance, personal responsibility, and patriotism that once defined American education.

This is silly. They should be using real ammo,at that age.
My Polish great-grandfather smiles in Heaven.
get back to the basics reading writing arithmetic science and FIREARMS......
Wonderful!!! They know the value of freedom. I remember Lek Walinsa who was for freedom for Poland. A free people can defend themselves.
Based. AF
Pencils, paper, spoons, knives, computers, keyboards, saw, screwdriver, axe, firearm, wrench, needle, etc.
Imagine: teaching children all about the various tools for various purposes - and how to use them.
The struggle for the soul of Poland continues. This nation has been targeted systematically for takedown by the evil ruling class, just as Ireland was before it.
I don't know how many billions of $$$$$$$$$$$ have been pumped into Poland to astroturf an SJW revolution, however, this protest appears very similar to the ones in Ireland prior to the repeal of its Eighth Amendment:

I'd imagine Poland is harder to crack because of the language barrier and their recent history of communism, however, having seen what its done to Ireland, I would not underestimate the power of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
In 5th grade, many moons ago, all kids were given a firearms safety instruction course ( I can't remember the duration) by the state DNR to learn how to handle firearms (long guns) safely. We were never taken out on a range to shoot, but, living in a rural area, I think the thought was to make sure kids had some sort of basic instruction before we went out for hunting season. Still have my patch. Still haven't shot myself or anyone else in the leg while hunting. Training is still working.
For this to work anywhere, the students would need to have respect and discipline. Polish kids are probably raised better than a lot of kids here in the states. Can you imagine implementing this in a school in a Chicago ghetto?
I have long espoused that the USA should have mandatory firearm training K-12.
Start them with air rifles and pistols in K, and switch them over to live ammo as the instructor feels they are ready.
Then they have failed in this case anyway. Kid has his booger hook on the bang switch.
This is the way
Replace fear and victimhood with confidence and control
You'll shoot yourself in the eye
Well done Poland!
This is the way.
Well, the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is right now. Looks like Poland is living this...
All so they can be sent to die in some kike's war.
