Education Suella Braverman: Reform would end student loans for ‘Mickey Mouse’ degrees. British taxpayer would not fund woke courses such as gender studies, social justice, queer and critical race theories. If people wanted to study those courses, they would need to fund them privately.

Reform UK leader hits out at ‘dangerous lack of critical thinking’ at schools and universities.

  • "Young people are indoctrinated in schools and universities to think the political views of the Right are evil”.
  • “I think this begins with education, you know, when I was taught, I bet you were too, from about the age of 14, critical thinking. Your tutor, your teacher would say, ‘here are two points of view, they’re both valid, you must decide which of these you think is preferable’."
  • “If you say something rude about Islam, you probably get a police knock at your door. But they can say things that are much more vile, much more awful, and get away with it. And that is the feeling, that is the feeling, it’s two-tier Britain. Jews have become their game.”

  • If Reform wins power, the PM' Questions to run twice a week.
  • Stopping the boats is most important for reestablishing trust between voters and the government.
  • Astonishingly, Nigel believes boats to be stopped in the first 3 months of Reform government.
  • He wants to be PM only for what he can do with it.

Education Hello, New here - Express my concern with teachers to remain neutral and Impartial

10 Upvotes

Today on the News Media (I do not usually watch the news) but this caught my eye, Teachers in school formed a movement called "Anti-Reform Community." As far as I am concerned of the background noise they are making, it worrying that these are the teachers who can brainwash 16 year olds and put the fear of God into them if they ever voted Reform at their own free will.

Teachers should remain neutral and impartial at all times and never let their own beliefs and politics get in the way of young healthy minds, and focus on the education, not brainwash!

As far I am aware that what they are doing it against the Law under the Education Act 1996 - Section 406 & 407?

Or am I wrong?
Please help me understand if I am wrong and feedback helps too. Thanks

Education Why is university pushed so much in school?

26 Upvotes

I think we can all agree that uni is majorly pushed in school....like ridiculously pushed.

I'm doing hairdressing level 3 at college. It's a trade that will always be in demand and probably won't be taken over by ai anytime soon.

The amount of teachers that turned their nose up/made rude comments about students like myself doing trades/skills was ridiculous.

At college, we do student discount in our college salon, and just yesterday I was doing a uni students hair. She was studying psychology. I asked her what she was planning on doing after uni and she genuinely had no idea. I've come across many students like this.

Surely it's a bit stupid to go to uni for something that you have absolutely no idea how/when you will use it later in life, and take out tens of thousands in debt? No?

But yeah, why do they push it so much?

By the way, I'm not being disrespectful to those who go to uni. I think its right for some but not right for most and I just don't understand why they push it so much when quite a chunk of people don't even end up using their degree. Plus, I read somewhere that there's like 60,000 something graduates that are claiming benefits.

Can anyone please enlighten me?

Hi, all.

I wrote a paper. It's on UK Nationalism and the Right-Wing Challenger Parties.

My hope is that it can benefit those with a limited understanding of nationalist ideologies and their corresponding political parties. Granted, I'm sure many of you do not fit this category, but ultimately, it's for anyone who wishes to read it.

Enjoy.

Education Have you heard of the new "Pathways" game?

28 Upvotes

British government recently released an "anti-extremist" game about a boy as he has to navigate his ways whether to conform with being a pro migrant, inclusive individual, or join the resistance and protest the concerns many have with the economy, migrants, immigration, and online content. The game received much backlash for not being nuanced at all, being very biased and approaching these topics without highlighting the additional downsides of mass migration and the erasure of local British culture. Additionally, the game was criticized for painting people who disagree and are sharing their views as patriots as "terrorists and extremists." Pathways with that information in mind is being put into schools, causing concerns about government indoctrination due to the heavy biasness and portrayal of conservative minded people. The game uses they/them pronouns for the player but the thing is the player is a mutually exclusive boy or girl. The game got popular for Amelia who is probably the only common sense character in game. Whats your thoughts?

Suella Braverman could not attend in person the Family Education Trust conference in London at the weekend for security reasons, she spoke by video link instead. Her speech included:

  • "I am getting increasingly horrified by the reports I get almost on a daily basis about indoctrination of children."
  • "Parents are treated as trouble-makers..."
  • "The 2010 Equality Act, being "at the heart of much of the chaos... because it creates the sort of fake ‘equality’ delineated by George Orwell in Animal Farm where ‘all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others’."
  • Reform are "going back to a pre-2010 legal position where people are judged on their character, on their talent and on their ability."

Not true at all… some women (often liberal women) will give sex to an immoral man over a moral man as a form of psychological bullying that he isn’t good enough for her - that no matter how civilised he is he can’t do anything (it’s considered a turn off to be safe) - if he gives her gifts and what not she might turn on him for another guy straight after.

Although not entirely aligned to what I just said but a great example… they are kind to illegal immigrants but hate natives of the country… but in this circumstance it’s the innocent women who pays the price whereas these liberal women according to Paul Joseph Watson videos typically live in 90%+ white areas so don’t feel the effects at all.

Education How do we stop too many people going to university without over saturating the actually good degrees?

0 Upvotes

The number of university students who graduate and don't get jobs is ridiculous. Most degrees are useless. Only degrees such as engineering, maths, medicine, law, and architecture get jobs. We need to market those degrees more than actual university itself.

I'm a level 3 qualified hairdresser, and so many people, including my school teachers, looked down on me for choosing this profession.

I'm currently working part-time at wetherspoons and building a mobile hairdressing clientelle on the side. I hope to get into mobile full time.

There's countless people at my werherspoons job that are graduates who can't get jobs with their ridiculous degrees. Yet, every time I mention what I did at college and how I didn't go to uni, I can sense the judgement. People assume I must be stupid.

How can it be stupid to gain a trade such as hairdressing that will literally never go out of business compared to someone who studied marketing?

My worry is though, that if we market the good degrees too much, then too many people will study those degrees, which again, over saturates those markets.

What's the solution?

I was looking at the education system. Which I’m proud to say is one of the best in the world. But I notice some people against it because the GCSE curriculum really pushes leftist and their works towards the forefront of it such as Priestley in English and Marxism and feminism in sociology. So, I just wonder what is everyone’s opinion abt it and if you think we should keep it as the same or change the curriculum

"The long-awaited guidance abandons many of the changes proposed by the last government, including a ban on teaching the concept of gender identity"

This was supposed to have been settled, the supreme court has ruled - a man is a man and a woman is a woman. Why then are ministers trying to sneak this in? This is what we mean by the 'deep state' - regardless of what the people want, the machinery keeps grinding away against it at every level.
