GCHQ Staff Teach ‘Future Spies’ in Schools

While this sort of indoctrination is standard operating procedure for all totalitarian states, here are some of the most terrifying examples of it that I’m aware of:
Via: BBC:
Schoolchildren as young as 12 are being introduced to the secret world of intelligence gathering in a programme run by the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) across the UK.
“Privyet,” says Anna, as pupils at Chosen Hill comprehensive school near Cheltenham file into a classroom in the language department.
“Sevodnia, ou nas peetnadtsat minut,” she continues.
“Today we have 15 minutes to get you hooked into your Russki urok – into your Russian lesson.”
Anna, whose full name cannot be revealed, is no ordinary teacher.
She is a Russian specialist from the GCHQ in Cheltenham, which intercepts electronic communications from around the world.
It has more than 70 “ambassadors” who visit schools and festivals to promote the study of languages, science and technology, but they also “plant the seed” in the minds of pupils that they could have a good career working for what is the third intelligence agency after MI5 and MI6.
