It's deliberate. Heaven forbid we educate people to think or ask questions.

The #Tory view is to make sure people only study for careers that earn money & taxes, not an education that encourages them to think or ask questions of the state for instance.

Ludicrous.

88% of teachers surveyed by SSTA said the recent behaviour guidance from the govt has had no impact.

Damning report on state of behaviour in our schools.

I'd suggest underlying issues have not been acknowledged therefore the solution presented is not fit for purpose.

Looking to explore this #BlackHistoryMonth's theme of "Standing Firm in Power and Pride" in the classroom?

Check out our resource which explores the life of Nelson Mandela and connections to the Scottish anti-apartheid movement, and links to modern day injustice.

Such an excellent piece, pulling the mask right off Jenrick's face and his false rage.

Bet he regrets being at the same school as Sathnam now!

Teaching critical literacy to our 3rd yr student teachers tdy,a seminar i β™₯️. We use the book,The Island,which is sadly just so relevant to the world we're living in.Safe to say we had some profound conversations and I hope I empowered them to think more deeply & teach from a perspective of justice.

Mourning those murdered by Hamas isn't incompatible with mourning those murdered by the Israeli state.

Demanding that the hostages return isn't incompatible with naming & demanding an end to genocide.

Naming the power imbalance & impact thereof doesn't desecrate those murdered two years ago today.

He should be suspended for making these bigoted comments. Faith at least is a protected characteristic so surely he's in breach of that. Utterly disgusting.

I was a bit surprised that Zack didn't mention his colleauges in Scotland during his conference address, considering we have a significant parliamentary election coming up in months. I get they're a separate entity but a shout of solidarity would have been nice I reckon. But what do I know πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ 😊

Lovely to be part of this. An anti-racist education builds an anti-racist society to the benefit of everyone - it is the pathway to peaceful relations in our communities.

Great evening spent at @crer-scotland.bsky.social #BHM2025 event on #Diversity in teaching. I gave an update on where we are as we try to make improvements followed by a really interesting panel discussion with Kwaku of the @adresscotland.bsky.social service @educatorsforpeace.bsky.social

Indeed. Calling attacks on synagogues terrorism but calling attacks on mosques as just hate crimes is a huge issue and highlights systemic racism and Islamophobia.

Educate. Speak up. Show up. Everyone should be doing this, if we all want to love in a decent society.

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.

Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

Richard The Lionheart and Saladin are lionised in popular culture, and the Crusades is a story that many Europeans know well - but how does this epic history crossover with the history of Gaza?

Good luck to my mini me who's starting her S4 work experience this week. It was an early 7.30am start for her today & there were some nerves, but hopefully she'll have a great time. Good luck to all our young people on that journey this week or later in the year πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌ
