The racial indoctrination of Britain’s primary schoolchildren
by Melanie Phillips:
Schools are pushing radical propaganda provided by outside sources with an agenda.
The Times (£) reports today that thousands of British schools are indoctrinating children as young as five with prejudice against white people in the name of “anti-racism”.
Educational tools provided by The Key, described on its website as “the leading provider of support for schools and trusts…equipping them with highly accurate, expertly synthesised and context-rich resources, guidance and CPD [Continuing Professional Development]”, promulgate “critical race theory” which holds that white society is intrinsically prejudiced against dark-skinned people.
The Times reports:
In one document, “How to talk to pupils about racism”, teachers are told their pupils are “never too young” to talk about it and directed to a US infographic which states that white five-year-olds are “strongly biased in favour of whiteness” compared with their black and “Latinx” (Latino) classmates, who show no preference towards their own groups…
In separate guidance on dealing with the issue of “white privilege” in a whole-school setting, teachers are told to adapt the way they speak to disadvantaged students who are white but do not feel privileged.
It says that some pupils “may not accept” that they have privilege because of their skin colour and may become “defensive” because they belong to another marginalised group. If challenged by those who say “but I’m gay, poor, female”, teachers are told that this “doesn’t erase their white identity”.
The Key also provides tools including a “whole-school anti-racism audit” and a curriculum review guide to help staff “decolonise” lesson plans and school trips, and diversify recruitment.
In history lessons, teachers are told to avoid teaching “white saviour narratives” by focusing lessons on slavery around white abolitionists such as William Wilberforce. Music lessons should aim for at least 50 per cent of the musicians or composers in the curriculum to be from an ethnic minority background.
It’s shocking to learn once again how schools are promoting propaganda rather than education. The Key’s activities have been brought to light by the pressure group Don’t Divide Us, which campaigns against the promotion in schools of radical ideas about race, sex and gender and has found dozens of examples of such indoctrination tools being provided to schools by outside bodies and interest groups.
