In the Czech Republic, a teacher was convicted for spreading fake news about "Ukrainian Nazis" in her lessons.

In Prague, a teacher was convicted for justifying Russian aggression

In Prague, a former Czech language teacher, Martina Bednarzova, was sentenced to seven months of probation for publicly justifying Russian aggression against Ukraine. She was also banned from teaching for three years and required to undergo a media literacy course. This was reported by 'Glavcom' citing the Czech publication 'iRozhlas'.

Her controversial statements were made in April 2022 during a stylistics lesson at the Prague primary school Na Dlouhém lán. Bednarzova claimed that 'for the Russians, it was a justified way to resolve the situation,' denied the fighting in Kyiv, and described Czech television news as 'propaganda linked to billionaire Soros.'

This was harmful precisely because she imposed her beliefs on 13-14 year old children, who could not provide a decent counter-argument

During the lesson, the woman also spread fakes about 'Ukrainian Nazis' who 'killed children' and 'skinned people alive.' She claimed that 'Russians have been killed in Donbas since 2014.' Students tried to argue against, but the teacher defended her position. She was dismissed from the school in May 2022.
