English schools told not to use anti-capitalist material for teaching

2021 exams: Decision on GCSE and A-levels timetable weeks away - as regulator considers online tests in case of lockdown

"This is another step in the culture war and this drift towards extreme Conservative authoritarianism is gaining pace and should worry anyone who believes that democracy requires freedom of speech and an educated populace.""And as @johnmcdonnellMP points out, it is symptomatic of the growing authoritarianism at the heart of the Conservative Party," she said.

"The idea that orgs are 'extreme' if they 'promote divisive or victim narratives' nods towards several orgs tackling Islamophobia, violence & racism.

Capitalism is failing as an ideology. Only conformists will respect a system and protect it from observation and criticism.

At the end of the day it's censorship. People should have the ability to decided for themselves using sources from both sides, the fact that you want to suppress the other side is admitting they have a point.

Because the alternative to capitalism worked out so well for Russia and China.

Anti capitalist = anything the government doesn't like = facism

First, they came for...

I don’t remember learning about anything ‘anti capitalist’ in school. I only needed to participate in the system to see its issues

FUCK OFF!! yet again trying to oppress the people. Don't you remember the 5th of November? our Education is already controlled and is made to fit the same routine all the way through our lives from nursery, school, collage, uni and work. So much for being free people.

Boris Johnson is an existential threat to intelligent thinking.

its not anti capitalist, its stopping the lies being spread like george flloyd who is a disgusting criminal, its stopping something called communism that has been buttered in marxism and then sprinkled with 'this is for black people', just lies after lies.

Good. It’s about time.

There's a fine line between freedom of speech and teachers pushing a left wing agenda. They've crossed that line many times over the years. BLM as an organisation prime example, Teach equality and history but don't promote an organisation that's bordering on illegality

I am not a fan of racism or sexism but it was it happened you can not just erase it... historymanipulation

You can not change the history as you wish it happened it was, even if you don't like it learn from it ... bulshit manipulations riot

And again, we look the other way as the fascists put together their plan, as the black shirts rise.

Isn't that against fReEdOm Of SpEeCh? Oh wait, that's only when far-right nonsense gets banned...

Thank you for getting the 'English' bit right. DfE is only for England

Stop_The_EU It’s about time too.

It would probably be a good idea to push condoms through labour and Lib Dem supporters doors we must not let the fuckers breed anymore

Anti-capitalism is an extreme view, no arguement there really unless you like the look of Cuba, North Korea ect. Even China aborted and now look at it's economy

Stop_The_EU The taxpayer demands education not indoctrination

As long as they stop the constant left wing woke virtue signalling!

No more bonfire nigh then

Another great move. thanksboris

Well yeah. You’d have to be downright stupid to teach your own kids to be revolutionaries. Why would you subsidise that?

Didn't Hitler encourage book burning, is this the road we are leading our children down. History should be taught from BOTH sides, how else are we to learn from the mistakes of the past

Terrible idea. As much as I support capitalism this doesn't mean that all that should be taught is capitalism. Advantages and disadvantages of alternative systems should also be taught in a fair and balanced way to allow children to decide what they believe is right.

Erm you need to poll patents on this one

Good. Teaching should educate not indoctrinate. Children should be taught a diverse range.

The Government is right to clamp down on the extremist propaganda being pushed by marxist teachers on the kids. These new rules mean schools in England must not use any material from BLM, Extinction Rebellion and other groups that clearly violate one or more of the restrictions.

A slightly misleading headline. The rule is do not use material from a group that seeks to overthrow capitalism, its not about being critical of capitalism.

So they should. The left wing bleeding hearts have been responsible for the situation we are now in with this snowflake generation

If this happens, I'll make it my mission to lobb for any schools that oppose this and/or have core principle to teach anti-capitalist subjects/stories. Capitalism is dying, it's a biting, belligerant old beast starved of purpose and relevance. Climate and covid have revealed it.

So the UK gov plc, think they can dictate the teaching curriculum now 🤔 ok then burning books in their remit as well?

Well there goes freedom of speech.

They should have banned Marxism like Trump but it's a start. All you moaning in here have no loyalty to your nation either, that's the problem. The schools are churning out traitors ready to ruin this nation but they haven't even lived and don't understand what they're doing

So now socialism is called extremist... Well fuck, I guess I'm an extremist... Also, while on one hand I don't agree with them teaching anti-capitalism, I think the same should go for capitalism no? Otherwise the education system is forced to push capitalistic ideas on people.

I bet a lot of people ‘moaning’ about this directive are people who have a mortgage. Or own property. Or champagne socialists. Or the BLM mob! 😉

Quite right! If you wish to follow communism, move to China or Russia and have your children educated there.

Another attack on the white working class then

Maybe when the government issue guidelines to TV news, they'll point out how news stories should have both points of view at the start of the story rather than just the labour view at the top? We know people rarely read whole stories and usually only the headlines.

Replies full of bots and far right div heads. I've yet to meet anyone with right wing ideals who is intelligent.

The teachers need to be banned from promoting it... needs to be a sackable offence to promote their own thinking ideology’s!

I find this really disturbing. So if you’re teaching in an area where kids only got fed this summer because of Marcus Rashford, they just have to accept their lot and it’s not right to question why that was the case? Very conservative...

Trumpification of the U.K. continues.

enquiring mind + description of capitalism + thinking time = anti-capitalist.

Not really an issue, I teach my kids anti capitalism at home 😎

Absolutely. Rightly so. Lets keep on teaching greed and the perpetuate cycle of Fu ck you I'm all right jack

Don't veer away from the state approved propaganda else you might get a generation that thinks

mfogarty__ About time. Too many marxist nutjobs in teaching positions these days.

Stop the salary of any teacher indoctrinating kids with this. Then we can see how much they rely on capitalism.

Quite right. Don't admit anything. No need for tender contracts. The way to make money is to look after those that will give you something back in policy. It's rather simple.

socialist teachers are hating this. Too bad.

Good

Good

Common sense then. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Good.
