Labour Plans To Teach British Empire Injustice In Schools

[naomi24]

In other words, Labour intends to fill young minds with its own anti-British brand of politics rather than history.

And there’s more.

Be afraid … be very afraid.

Naomi i think someone has posted this, or similar..
i am not afraid, they won't get in, fingers crossed...

[Old_Geezer]

Sure I've seen a ref. in another thread somewhere.

[ToraToraTora]

well lefty teachers have been brainwashing the kids for decades anyway, I guess it's only natural that they make it government policy.

[emmie]

i did, but can't find it.

It's up to families to educate at home.
Africa had little or nothing to contribute to civilisation apart from victim hood, and most slave trader were Arabs or othe black triibes.

I haven't seen another thread. Sorry if this is a duplicate.

"Lefty teachers" teach to curricula set by the government.

[ToraToraTora]

as I said on the other thread, If the British Empire was so bad why do millions of former Empire subjects risk death to get under British rule again? Ask the citizens of Rhodesia what they prefer?

[Theland]

What can they teach us?
Tribalism and civil war and corruption?

[emmie]

TTT that thread seems to have disappeared.

[ToraToraTora]

yes drmorgans but they get to put their own spin on it. Hence most kids leaving school are left wing, that is until they get some assets.

this is the thread:

the headline of the post is regarding anti semitism but the headline in the link refers to The British Empire.

[emmie]

TTT thanks, thought so.

as to Corbyn, he should learn some home truths about slavery in UK. The stats suggest that up to 1 million people were captured on these shores by Arab traders and sold into slavery, very few came home..

[emmie]

by Barbary Pirates way back in time. Corbyn is a revisionist and dunce.

[drmorgans]

I can't say that school shaped my political leanings. It taught me maths and science but not much else. Ethos and morality came from my parents.

[emmie]

school generally doesn't shape one's political stance, many get their info from the parents, then once off to Uni, get trapped into some left leaning colleges

[ToraToraTora]

how old are you drmorgans?

[naomi24]

The "emancipation educational trust" sounds suspect too - but launched by Dawn Butler and Diane Abbott that should come as no surprise.

[emmie]

Labour wants to review the national curriculum

The trust would educate on migration and how to address the legacy of slavery and teach how it "interrupted a rich and powerful black history".
