\\Teachers have been urged to “decolonise” the Scottish curriculum in new anti-racism guidance which invites them to take a “white privilege test” and help pupils to embrace diversity.//
White privilege test. ?
Whats that?
\\A framework produced by an executive agency of the Scottish government also asks staff to identify and consider “white fragility” — defined as the clumsy defensiveness of a white person confronted with information about racial inequality and injustice — which it says “upholds white supremacy”.//
//Among its recommendations is a call for young children to be given books, 'dolls and figures' and 'dressing up clothes' which 'normalise diversity// Why the h**l don't they let children grow up normally// This is education gone completely bananas.

White privilege in Govan, and the Gorbals, perhaps they can get some black and ethnic minorities to work on deep sea trawlers or crofting in the hills, not jobs I'd want to do.

we really shouldn't sanitise history just because some of it might set off trigger warnings for the sensitive. how are future generations meant to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past if they can't see them, and learn from them? life in the past was nasty, brutish and short for many, and we can't change that. we can, though, take care to be the best we can in the here and now.
every fule kno
that the scots ran the empire in the eighteenth century because their education was so good compared to English
+ scottish enlightenment 1780-1800
- "scottish en-what-en-ment?" a hundred ill educated ABers whoop from south of the border - a second wave has a smattering of 'dat heavy dat!" amongst the usual dross
I despair. The numpties in charge here in Scotland jump on every woke bandwagon. I have yet to meet anyone in my wide circle of family and friends who agrees with this nonsense. How about teaching our children to read, write and gain other skills which will help them in their working lives? Our education system has become a joke.

are they trying to say although white people invented discovered built, just about everything, it means nothing, infact none of it's true...
everything was invented discovered built by erm mixed race or ethinics
or to say don't be proud if your white of any achievements, forget history as we are rewriting it for inclusivity...sorry i don't get it.
I am continually thankful I left teaching whilst we were still treated as responsible professionals. I taught for many years in a multi-racial school and it was just assumed I would behave appropriately.
