Barring the fact that it seems like a lot of reactionary news outlets are pushing this as a sort of anti-woke great patriotic ideal to teach elementary/primary school kids how to shoot AKs and that sounds like a load of shit because you'd want to do that sort of shit in high school in addition to the fact the kids they're showing looks around high school age, therefore I'm not 100% convinced on the veracity on the level of penetration the poles are aiming for in their jingoistic firearm training though their education system... That said, teaching young adults how to handle firearms isn't exactly a new thing. Many, I'm not particularly sure about the universality of it, of the warsaw pact nations instituted compulsory firearm handling and/or shooting courses across the history of the pact's existence, as well as quite a few U.S schools from roughly the '80s back had similar programs (regional dependent).

That said, fuck them war hungry fuckers in Polania, fuck the jingoistic monsters eagerly cheering at the prospect of sending Poland's future into the charnel house, and most important of all fuck the EU.

We still had classes like in the pic in the 2000s (post-Soviet country)!

EDIT: our teacher was an Afghanistan veteran, we learned how to shoot (with a compressed air rifle), how to assemble/disassemble an AK, how to load/unload an AK magazine, and some basic military code stuff, e.g., how to march and how to report to an officer. It was a mandatory high school class for students around 16.
