sorry i know we all bang on but within my lifetime it was unlawful to tell school kids that being gay is fine https://twitter.com/Independent/status/1310870440622149634">https://twitter.com/Independe...

and as stan says, british education - and culture - is absolutely awash with rw ideas: individualist meritocracy, class contempt, worthy and unworthy work, smart kids and stupid kids, good and bad kids etc etc https://twitter.com/tristandross/status/1310905509386612736?s=19">https://twitter.com/tristandr...

there are very very few "british values" that are fundamentally not quite rightwing, imho.

where leftwing ideas - like antiracism - are introduced in schools, this is not some illegitimate deviation from the function of schooling. all schooling replicates culture and is never neutral. obviously. it can& #39;t do anything else

god this country is so annoying
