Why white, working-class children fail: The race divide in English schools

Chinese and Indian students are excelling, and now black Africans, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis are doing better than poor, white pupils

At the start of the 1990s, London was an educational basket case. Rock-bottom standards were typified by east London’s Hackney Downs School, dubbed “the worst in the country”, where local parents, desperate to avoid appalling underachievement, sent their children to schools miles away.

Secondaries in the borough, along with others in Islington, Tower Hamlets, Lambeth and Southwark, recorded some of the worst GCSE results in England.

But something remarkable has happened in the capital. A system that had seemed stuck in habitual failure has been transformed into an outstanding success story. Recent A-level results confirm that, not only is London at the top of the regional league table, it is leaving the rest of England floundering in its wake.

DEI scammers warn federal budget cuts could reduce diversity and inclusion initiatives

OTTAWA – Advocates are raising concerns that upcoming federal budget cuts and expected job losses in the public service will jeopardize programs intended to hire and promote people with disabilities.

”(Diversity, equity and inclusion) is often an add-on, right? It’s never a core, no matter how hard we try. So usually it’s the first to be cut when times are tough,” said Rabia Khedr, the national director of Disability Without Poverty.

Khedr said people with disabilities often have to overcome significant barriers to get hired. “They have to prove themselves, they have to be a hundred times better than the able-bodied person to shift the hiring manager’s attitudes,” she said.

Stop Tolerating The Toxic Ideas Of Black Radicals

Social media has an annoying habit of ablating any remaining desire for good intellectual hygiene, so I recently clicked on a video of Joy Reid. Since being dumped from MSNBC, Reid has been making the podcast rounds. And the 40-second clip is vintage Reid; she accuses white people writ large of not being able to invent anything, rewriting history, and caps it off with a bizarre rant about Elvis that, well, completely rewrites history…

Lucy Connolly released from prison

Lucy Connolly has been released from jail after being handed what is believed to be the longest prison sentence for a single social media post.

Mrs Connolly, 42, left HMP Peterborough, a mixed men’s and women’s prison, with muted fanfare on Thursday after serving more than 300 days in prison.

She was jailed last year for 31 months over a comment made in the wake of the Southport attack.

‘Hateful’ professor insists St George’s Flag ‘represents racism, not patriotism’

A Good Morning Britain guest has sparked fury by claiming the St George’s flag is ‘racist’ and should be changed.

Controversial black studies professor Kehinde Andrews, who has previously attacked Britain and the Royal Family, claimed England’s national flag was deep-rooted in racism amid a row over a ‘patriotic outpouring’ around the country.

An online movement called ‘Operation Raise the Colours’ has led to communities across the country hanging up Union Jack and St George’s flags, including in Birmingham, London, Bradford, Newcastle and Norwich.

The New Yorker’s Racialism Problem

Prestige media has turned “antiracism” into a farce. It’s time to move beyond it.

It seems that all of the conventional opinion of America’s chattering class is condensed and printed once a week in the pages of the New Yorker. In normal times, this process yields some good writing and reporting. In certain periods, the magazine has produced some magnificent work. But we have not lived in normal times for the past decade. The conventional opinions of the chattering classes have ranged from delusional idealism to racialist fever dreams, and worse.

The most recent illustration of this trend is an essay by New Yorker staff writer Doreen St. Felix, who penned a screed about the blonde starlet Sydney Sweeney. Sweeney, St. Felix mused, represents a fantasy “Aryan princess” to some of her fans, with her much-discussed breasts placed in dark contrast with “the Black man’s hunger for ass.”

“These are Worrying Times for My Generation”

Pride Day has just passed in my hometown of Hull. Pride flags were publicly displayed, replacing Union flags; countless posters were plastered on shop windows and adverts invaded social media feeds. One could not miss that the event was approaching. Fortunately, away in Stockport watching football, I escaped the parade of men in dresses; their giveaway cock and balls openly dangling between their legs. This came weeks into Pride Month, a fleeting four weeks dedicated to the LGBTQwerty community. Pride awareness, however, does not stop there. There are more upcoming events in a local town around Hull: the Pride of Beverley, which is also hosting a Dog Walk of Pride – hold me back. It is evident this community is always in the limelight. What for though? Scaring children, exploiting women and playing fancy dress?

Patrice Dutil: What Toronto loses with the naming of Sankofa Square

As municipal officials in Toronto get set to host an event inaugurating the newly renamed Sankofa Square (formerly Younge-Dundas Square), it’s worth pondering what could have been.

The word “Sankofa” is not organic, it does not grow out of the Torontonian experience and it is not authentic. Nor it is even original: in the United States, there are endless shops, schools, arts centres and community organizations named after the concept.


Racists renamed Dundas Square after African Slavers to insult White Canadians and Canada’s heritage.

Child Abuse: Christians singled out as “Oppressors” by TDSB Human Rights Dept.

‘No more TikTok teaching’: Jewish advocacy group calls for Ontario classrooms to be free of identity politics

A Jewish advocacy group released a report on Monday with recommendations to depoliticize Ontario classrooms. It called on the ministry of education to build a curriculum based on achievement, rather than identity.

… The same policies that have made Jewish students feel unsafe have also created inhospitable environments for Hindu, Christian and Asian students, she said, adding that the human rights department at the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) trains staff on “who qualifies as an oppressor,” singling out Christians.


Here is the JEFA web site and full report.

In pdf format – End the Crisis in Education final

I hope parents sue the TDSB for child abuse.

But I have to ask why Christian churches have never raised this issue.

This blog spent a lot of energy covering TDSB antics and was the 1st to reveal the anti-white racism embedded in  TDSB teaching.

Environmental groups too white and middle class, says green boss

The new boss of one of Britain’s largest environmental groups has agreed that membership has become too white and middle class, as he vowed to build a more diverse movement.

Asad Rehman, who this week has become the first person of colour to lead Friends of the Earth in its 54-year history, said anti-fracking battles had seen the organisation stand alongside working-class people in “left-behind, deprived” communities. But the self-described “reluctant environmentalist” said more needed to be done.

An analysis last year by the Race Report campaign found environmental and conservation groups were among the least diverse in the UK, with 4.5 per cent of their staff being non-white compared with 16 per cent in the working population overall.
