Question:

Answer:
This is not prescribed. This is not prescribed. The events that are occurring and politics are not something the attendees have a stake in. Can they change anything about them? They cannot change anything about them. You teach them what they need to know of the rulings of their religion. Teach them what they do not know. As for the matter of politics, events, and these things, they gain no benefit from them and they are unable to change anything about them. Yes.
