A ‘Clean’ Online Alternative for Modern Families
EdNews Virginia | March 23, 2026
ARLINGTON, VA — For many families who attended EdReform Virginia’s fourth annual school choice event, concern for their children’s education doesn’t end with afternoon dismissal. In today’s digital age, where kids spend their leisure time online has become as critical as which school they attend.
Gan Jing World, a high-tech exhibitor at EdReform Virginia’s event, is offering a bold solution: a “clean” virtual town square that is devoted to kindness, respect and safety.
‘Technology for Humanity’
The name Gan Jing translates to “clean” in Mandarin Chinese, and that mission was front and center at their informational table. Representatives introduced families to a digital ecosystem that strongly bans any content involving violence, pornography, crime and drugs.
Unlike mainstream social media platforms that rely on addictive algorithms to maximize “screen time,” Gan Jing World uses a “Technology for Humanity” approach. Their algorithm is designed to help users find relevant, educational and inspiring content without the “doom-scrolling” or data-harvesting that characterizes most of today’s internet.
A Resource for the Modern Classroom
Gan Jing World, grounded in the values of the Falun Gong movement, aims to deliver “wholesome content for all.” A point of interest for some teachers and homeschoolers in attendance was Gan Jing Campus. This specialized portal within the platform allows educators to:
- Curate video libraries for their students without the risk of “suggested” harmful content.
- Organize projects in a secure, moderated environment.
- Foster character-building through initiatives like the “Kindness Is Cool” campaign.
Privacy Is a Priority
For privacy-conscious families, Gan Jing World’s commitment to data security is a possible draw. The network maintains its own private data centers and promises not to track, sell or profile its users — a sharp contrast to the surveillance-based models of most tech giants.
Why It Matters
As EdNews Virginia’s series on this year’s school choice event has revealed, educational freedom is about more than just choosing a building; it’s about safeguarding the hearts and minds of a rising generation. By offering a wholesome digital environment, Gan Jing World strives to ensure the values families choose to instill at home and in the classroom are not undermined by the devices in their own kids’ pockets.
