“DepEd’s decision to incorporate the recognition of red-tagging, trolling, and extrajudicial killings as human rights violations into its curriculum is a significant step towards promoting a culture of respect for human rights and the rule of law among young Filipinos,” it added.
The Commission on Human Rights said that recognizing red-tagging, trolling and extrajudicial killings as human rights violations in its draft K-10 curriculum would help promote a culture of respect for human rights and the rule of law among Filipino students.guide for the Araling Panlipunan subject of Grade 10 students, included discussions on the three social issues on the topic of human rights violations.
“The Commission particularly stresses that red-tagging only serves to stigmatize and silence individuals and groups critical of the government or advocating for social justice.
