Imagine being forced to read Donald Trump's "The Art of the Deal" in school
Imagine pledging allegiance to a flag and being indoctrinated with pseudo-scientific capitalist ideology.

Where do you get your information on Tibet?
Here are some alternative sources:
Tibetan School Falls to China’s Legal Pressure (October 2024) -- (Archived)
A 2010 cultural assimilation policy mandates that all schools in Tibet use Chinese as the primary language, starting from kindergarten. [...] “The Chinese government is closing monasteries and Tibetan schools as part of a broader strategy to eradicate Tibetan language and culture.” [...] Private schools are especially targeted in “patriotic education campaigns,” making language instruction harder to monitor. Eight of the remaining 16 private Tibetan schools have been ordered to close, while the rest face allegations and administrative pressure.
Tibet boarding schools: China accused of trying to silence language (March 2024)
Over recent years, the Chinese government has closed village schools - and private ones teaching Tibetan - and expanded the use of boarding schools. These have been in operation for many decades in a number of Chinese regions that are thinly populated - but in Tibetan areas, they appear to have become the main means of education. [...] [Experts] say this kind of schooling creates psychological trauma for children who are forcibly separated from their families, who are pressured to send their children away. "The most challenging aspect of my life was missing my family," said one Tibetan teenager, who attended a boarding school for several years, until she was 10.
China shows off a Tibetan boarding school that’s part of a system some see as forced assimilation (October 2023) -- (Archived)
China has shuttered village schools across Tibet and replaced them with centralized boarding schools over the last dozen years. Many students come from remote farming villages and live at the schools. The practice is not limited to the region [...] Activists estimate 1 million Tibetan children study at such boarding schools, though the number is difficult to confirm. They say the schools are part of a broader strategy to dilute Tibetan identity and assimilate Tibetans into the majority Chinese culture.
If you still don't trust one of these sources, feel free to find others. It's easy, they are all across the web.
they are all across the web
Yes, and they are all from pro US or US funded sources. Probably got the same press release from the CIA, or via AP to help it look more legit. I noticed that even HongKongFP didn't pick the story up and they are rabidly anti-China (and they are also still based, and circulate, in Hong Kong).
It really helps of you read before posting. And don't forget to suggest sources you think are reliable.
There are no other sources. There are precisely zero western journalists in Tibet, the story isn’t covered in Chinese media, Hong Kong media, even Taiwan’s media.
Further more, even if I did find a source that said something other than the US approved narrative you would instantly decry at as propaganda. To people like you the only angle that matters is the one that confirms your bias.
Which sources are reliable for China news in general?
None, at least none that you would find acceptable. I'm sure you already know the big names in English language media from China. You should look at them from time to time anyway, just to get a non-western perspective, but I doubt you will. Best thing of course is to go there and see for yourself, but you wont.
They probably get from the global times lol
