Tory MP wants people that use terms like "white privilege" to be referred to PREVENT

So they literally said "gay people are evil" ?

I have had a further education biology teacher trying to teach a classroom of sensible adults that human evolution never happen and gay people were evil.

But back to the question - how is the education system left leaning? BTW - we teach equality and equity, that racism and sexism are bad because firstly it is on the national curriculum and secondly it is protected under the Equalities Act of UK law.

Uh yeah it's literally a legal requirement that teachers promote left wing ideology. That's my point exactly.

As opposed to right wing ideology which is about being racist and sexist? Really???

That is one teacher and they are breaking the terms of their employment and should be reported.

You'll find notions like don't be racist or don't be sexist are shared across the British political spectrum. Which is why the Conservative Party regards them as fundamental British values and requires teachers to promote them.

I appreciate this may be uncomfortable for weak reactionaries who feel threatened by the presence of black people walking down the street or women in positions of power, but they are just going to toughen up and to learn to live with it.

Lots of reasons. For one if she wants to be PM in future she may have to rely on these people in her own party, she may have been told not to by Boris etc. You also have cabinet responsibility etc

We already know that the civil service tried to take her out with "bullying" accusations etc.

And so it goes on, is it too much to ask people keep politics, of all descriptions, out of the classroom (bar the politics course that is)? Theyre there to learn not be radicalised and indoctrinated by whichever flavor of prat the teacher is.

So climbing the greasy pole is more important than the country...

The problem is that eveything, almost by nature, is political.

What people often mean is that they want schools to enforce their own poltics.

There is such a thing as selling out/ grifting but there's also such a thing as pragmatism.

In order to achieve things in a large political party you have to compromise if you want to have any hope of power unless you have a directly elected position like Trump or are able to Squeeze into a leadership election like corbyn- but even then you have to be somewhat pragmatic.

I hope in social studies that the students are educated about Kriss Donald murder. Not the detail ofcourse but lack of media attention compared to other child murder by strangers or racist murders.

Thats true but at the same time you dont eo ipso have to put a political spin on teaching..
Be it changing all the names in maths to those of minorities, for some reason, or, more to the point, turning history and related subjects into political football matches. Take teaching the history of the empire, teachers lecturing students on the evil of it (as opposed to treating it with the nuance it deserves) is rather beyond the pale. The less said about those teaching CRT and related non-subjects the better. I recently read a rather appalling 'academic paper' noting that all whites, by dint of simply being white, are racist whether they like it or not and no matter what they do. Would you really want your children being taught such nonsense? Ironically, by racists.
