Teachers Will Be Trained to Challenge “Whiteness” in Schools

by Richard Eldred
25 August 2024 7:00 PM

The Telegraph reveals that teachers will now be trained to challenge “whiteness” in lessons, with new guidance ensuring future educators are fully equipped to be “anti-racist” in the classroom. Here’s an excerpt:

Teachers will be instructed in how to “disrupt the centrality of whiteness” in schools, according to a best-practice document.

The term “whiteness” in critical race theory refers to social attitudes considered normal by white people, and guidance suggests that concepts including “meritocracy”, “objectivity” and “individualism” should be questioned.

Documents state that student teachers – if they happen to be white – should also be helped to develop and project a “positive white racial identity”.

Separate guidance has been developed in Scotland and England, and both documents have been endorsed by universities offering teacher training, including Edinburgh, Glasgow and Newcastle, along with the National Education Union.

Documents claim that encouraging “anti-racist” teacher training will help to maintain a diverse teaching workforce, and will help to close the attainment gap between white and non-white pupils.

The Scottish “anti-racism framework”, drawn up by the Scottish Council of Deans of Education and endorsed by 10 universities, states that changes to the way in which teachers are taught will “disrupt the centrality of whiteness and enable different ways of seeing, thinking and doing”.

This process may involve more references to colonialism and racism in lessons, and instilling an understanding of the “impact of whiteness”.

This, it says, will help teachers project a “white racial identity grounded in reality and allyship” in the classroom, free from “false notions of superiority”.

Worth reading in full.

Teaching people about ‘white privilege’ doesn’t always have its intended effect. See this clip from Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe.

“This is a class example of White Privilege”

The mind virus assumes White Privilege exists everywhere.

Still confused as to what this means?

Well, that is a bit of a blow for the alarmists.
Actually, 33% less blow.

Don’t worry, before you can say “anthropogenic global climate catastrophe”, it will be labelled “misinformation” by the fact checkers, and we can all get back to panicking.

Another interesting meteorology article. The term Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) was new to me. No doubt the relationship between it and other weather events is complex and not fully understood. As to the belief that we have much influence over the weather system as a whole globally, that is, as you say, simplistic.

Slightly off topic, but some might like to watch the interview on GBN’s 19:00 programme with someone who was, err, critical of the new colliery in Whitehaven. A full-on climate scaremonger! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suY1rqIt5GQ from about 9:20 on.

Nearly every time I explain to my friends that actually the world is cooling and the energy in our climatic system is reducing because the only source of that energy, the sun, is heading towards a grand solar minimum I am looked at as if I am insane.

Luckily I have always been able to ignore people who don’t bother researching these effects and who believe that black is white because the MSM tells them so. I expect to see them run over on a zebra crossing.

The problem we have is it is no longer about whether climate change is/is not a threat and whether Man is/is not the cause because there is a whole new thing which has actually become disconnected and exists on its own -decarbonisation, the march to Net Zero.

This is the same as CoVid. Actual evidence showing Covid was zero risk for 99%+, and evidence that the ‘vaccines’ did not stop disease or transmission, that they were in fact increasing infection, severity, deaths, causing deaths and injury, became disconnected from the vaccination campaign which still is being pressed on people.

Neither Net Zero nor CoVid vaccination are validated or repudiated by evidence, they have a whole life of their own.

These facts cannot possibly be true because the computer models say otherwise.
