Teachers presenting white privilege as fact are breaking the law, minister warns

Teachers who present the idea of white privilege as a fact to their students are breaking the law, the women and equalities minister has told MPs.

Responding to the general debate on Black History Month being held by MPs, Kemi Badenoch took to the despatch box to describe critical race theory as “an ideology that sees my blackness as victimhood and their whiteness as oppression”.

The minister went on to hit out at schools who had expressed support for the “anti-capitalist” Black Lives Matter movement, arguing they had neglected their duty to political impartiality by embracing the group.

She added that the government was against “the teaching of contested political ideas as if they are accepted fact”.

“We do not want to see teachers teaching their white pupils about white privilege and inherited racial guilt” she told the Commons.
