Teachers will be taught to challenge “whiteness” in lessons, The Telegraph can reveal.
Guidance has been created for teacher-training courses, to ensure future educators are “anti-racist” and prepared to implement this in the classroom.
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”.
‘Impact of whiteness’
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”.
The national anti-racism framework for initial teacher training, launched in 2023, states that those teaching future teachers should “debunk the myth of objectivity” in scholarship, and instead examine how some views are “silenced” in academic work.
Those educating teachers have been urged to strive for racial justice “through activism” and teacher unions, according to the guidance.
Tools of whiteness’
A parallel anti-racism framework for teacher training was commissioned by the National Education Union in 2023, and funded by the University of Newcastle, was developed for England.
It states that “teachers working with all age groups” are “crucial to anti-racism work”, and directs tutors to academic literature on how to deal with “whiteness”.
The term “white” has nearly 400 mentions in the guidance, the term “whiteness” features 121 times.
The assorted academic literature sets out the importance of dispelling “notions of objectivity” along with what are termed the “tools of whiteness”, including “individualism” and “belief in a meritocracy”.
The framework also directs tutors to passages that claim “white privilege” includes the “right to enjoyment”, and that “emotions are themselves racialised”.
Scottish guidance aims to tackle racism in education, and to create a more diverse teaching workforce.
It has been made available by higher education institutions providing teacher training, including the universities Aberdeen, Strathclyde.
A Newcastle University spokesman said: “As we saw with the recent public unrest across the UK, racism is pervasive in our society. The way that we educate current and future teachers will play an important role in breaking this cycle and the framework was developed to provide practical guidance on this.”

Isn't questioning individualism the opposite of what diversity stands for ???
Fracking eejits >:(

Its nothing to do with diversity. Its about imposing an odd mixture of Neo Marxism / Maoism / Stalinism onto Western Society.
Minorities are just being used as the vehicle for it.
I cant believe its been allowed to get this far without being seriously challenged and stopped in its tracks.

Opti has obviously read this and is so apoplectic he can't reply ;D ;D

Far too complicated for me I'll simply keep calling a spade a spade.

It's not April 1st is it? :-\
Utterly ridiculous extreme left wing crap. :-\
This sort of lunacy really boils my piss. The comments below sum this crap up perfectly.
Ask some kids heavily loaded questions to get them to fall out with their mates.

I know exactly what you mean, I sometimes get the look of disbelief from my other half when stupidity like this comes up in discussion with friends/neighbours but I'm past caring, I refuse to stop saying exactly what I think.

That is indeed a very odd mix. I wonder what you're using for definitions?

Doesn't make it any more palatable though.

I just can’t understand why millions of ordinary men and women can see that this is all a load of shite but the powers that be can’t see it. It’s madness. >:(

Metaphorically it's just another brick in the wall of the erosion and conversion of the world that we ,of a certain age ,grew up in and enjoyed.
The steady change that we witness all around us is normal and continual , it happened to my Father and his Father before .
Unfortunately with the advent of Social Media , modern technology and a diversity driven left wing dominated educational system it's change is factorial rather than exponential.
I'm at an age now that although I deeply dislike what I see daily ,I have resigned myself to the fact that I cannot do anything about it . Soon , well not too soon hopefully ..., we'll be gone and the second generation after us will be Kings , and they'll get the world that they choose to have .
Reap what you sow springs to mind .
Steve's interesting post is just indicative of the direction that the UK is travelling it makes no sense to me at all , but tell me what does in this day and age .
It's a very alien world to the one that I enjoyed up to about ten years ago .

The rot started in1997 :-X

That's exactly why I posted it in a matter of fact way. It's just not worth spending the rest of my life fighting a war that cannot be won. In the big, wide world, my opinion counts for nothing, I'm just a daft old pensioner who is underserving of enough money to keep me warm ;D
The next big thing will be the UK cosying back up to the EU, causing much angst from the same group of people who rail against racial equity. Again, I'm resigned to that fact.

We've seen the best times Steve, unfortunately I can't see my Grandsons enjoying the times I had when things were " sensible & normal" that's the only way I can describe it, so very sad but we're too far down the road to " complete madness" to return. Yes I too am a worthless old pensioner but I'm determined to enjoy the rest of my days on this planet.

Essentially no CPR using chest compressions means DNR.
Certainly for us at work that would be the case as we use a defibrillator and it works by insisting on chest compressions between shocks until a stable rhythm is achieved.

I might be a daft old pensioner, but I'm not ready for that yet.

Im not quite a pensioner yet but Im ready if it happens.
Past caring tbh.

Of course, in reality, we are soon forgotten after the grim reaper comes for us. 8)
A couple of generations and people have moved on.

Yep no one will have boxes of old photos of Nan, Grandad, and daft old Uncle Reg stashed in the loft to be rediscovered one day, as they'll all be on old phones which will get chucked out and lost. :-\

It's really quite sad , having dealt with my brother in laws death, & my wife's cousins death in the last 4 years SWMBO being the only relative I must have taken without any exaggeration 60 bags of photos/personal items to the council tip things that the charity shops simply didn't want two people's lives in the skip, and two make it more awkward neither of them left a will so we also had all the legal side to deal with, solicitors & estate agents being pretty useless during the whole episode it took over our lives for a couple of years, neither of us would want to go through it again.
