Another scandal has emerged involving the teacher who reacted to primary school children wearing shorts with remarks such as, "Decency always begins in childhood."
Footage has surfaced of the teacher, who works at a school in Istanbul, giving a 'lesson' in which he says, "The Ottoman State, unfortunately, collapsed.
Do you know why it collapsed? Not because it was weak on the fronts it entered during World War I, but because it was stabbed in the back by traitors within us."
It has been revealed that the teacher, who views wearing shorts as indecent, was teaching history to children with incorrect information, despite it not being in the curriculum.
WAR OF INDEPENDENCE WITHOUT ATATÜRK
In a video titled 'SHOULDN'T PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS KNOW THEIR OTTOMAN ANCESTORS?' shared on the social media platform YouTube via the channel 'SENİN ÖĞRETMENİN ile Mutlu Aile Okulu' (Happy Family School with YOUR TEACHER), it was observed that the classroom teacher indirectly told the children that the 'Ottoman Empire was destroyed by the heroes of the National Struggle.'
The teacher, who asked the children the question, 'Which state existed before the Republic of Turkey?', made the following statements:
"The Ottoman State, unfortunately, collapsed. Do you know why it collapsed? Not because it was weak on the fronts it entered during World War I, but because it was stabbed in the back by traitors within us. When the Ottoman State collapsed, cruel states came deep into Anatolia and occupied it. Your grandmothers and grandfathers, hearing this, took stones, rifles, whatever they could find... they used whatever they could get their hands on and drove those cruel states, those occupying states, all the way to the sea."
He shared the video, in which he teaches history to primary school children despite it not being in the curriculum, with the following caption:
"My primary school students will of course know and recognize their Ottoman ancestors. The Ottoman Empire should be included in the primary school curriculum more extensively and strongly."
