The culture war continues. New guidance seems to make teachers avoid issues like racism and empire and colonialism. These topics should be taught in a balanced manner. What does that mean? The Amritsar massacre for example – How does one have a ‘balanced view of a slaughter’? Slavery – ??? And then what is ‘particularly contentious’? or a contested theory? The world is flat? Climate change has nothing to do with people? the Earth was made by god 8000 years ago? Zahawi uses the word fact. Johnson is a liar is a fact is it not?
Another example of the Government trying to micromanage education and its war against compassion, sympathy, empathy, justice and British Values.
