Green councillor Hannah Clare, who chairs the Children, Young People and Skills Committee, said: “I don’t have anything more to add as I think you’re aware of our positive position towards the importance of discussing the reality and existence of racism in schools She said that she and her Labour colleagues were all former teachers and added: “We should be able to see this material. It should actually be available to us and parents as well. It is controversial. It is a controversial programme so it’s even more (reason) that we should have some access to it. There is nothing in our strategy that aims to engender guilt or victimhood – and the development of critical thinking skills is one element of our educational output.

An update on the council’s anti-racism pledge is due to go before the Tourism, Equalities, Communities and Culture Committee on Thursday (17 June). We are proud of how Brighton and Hove schools are engaging with us and leading on this complex work and hopeful that our approach will make a difference.” CRT is a set of beliefs about society – not facts. Its message to children is that they are either the bearers or the victims of ‘white privilege’. The invitation CRT issues to children is, precisely, that they should define themselves and each other as victims or oppressors according to their colour. I can go on to my laptop if I want to look at what is being taught in secondary schools and I can go to the examples and I can find out what is being taught and so on.Deb Austin said: “I’m aware that Mr Hart has been trying to access the training materials used by an independent trainer who is employed outside of the city council – and that request has been refused on the grounds of commercial sensitivities. I’m really proud of the work we are doing in our schools to be anti-racist and the wider work across the council. It is my understanding that people who have engaged with the strategy are overwhelmingly in support of it. Critical race theory is our lens for developing our understanding of the complexities of racism – and not an ideology. Collaborations with various London arts organisations resulted in a number of award winning films. These include Safe (winner of LWTs Whose London? competition and broadcast in 2002), Moving Here (awarded beacon status in 2006 by the Home Office) and Only Human (made in 2006 for Essex primary schools and broadcast on Teachers TV in 2009).

If you had known of the controversies surrounding CRT, you would have had reason to investigate if the strategy breaches the ‘public sector equalities duty’ by fostering divisions among children. Adrian Hart I’m not sure I’ve ever heard ‘commercially sensitive’ regarding information or stuff being used in schools ever before so I find that deeply worrying as well. And I would be very concerned – and I am concerned – that we’re being denied that. And I know that other councillors are concerned about that … These are all things that we should know about.” It’s a very important issue. We are deeply committed to it. But we do feel that it must be democratic and transparent – and it’s very, very important to have that.” Councillor Hannah ClareWhen he came to the realization that wasn't his future, he told his mother who was very supportive. His father ended up forcing the coming out, having already suspected, in an extremely intense scene. When Ramzi told him what he wanted to hear, his father became quiet and said "why don't you just put a bullet in my head." Ramzi's sister, who is also queer and had come out before, was also present. Critical race theory, he said, “invites teachers and children to define and treat one another differently according to the immutable characteristic of skin colour. At GCSE or A level stages, partisan political or religious ideologies are rightly presented, discussed and balanced with differing perspectives, but we accept that they should never be promoted.” As a council, we believe that racism is not just a product of individual bias or prejudice but something embedded in our systems which is why the rich ethnic diversity of our city is not represented in council or in employees in our schools. He said: “Hiding this from scrutiny is unwise – but to cite commercial interests in your ‘freedom of information’ request refusal is … a misreading of the Act.”

We would just like to ask that we are given access to this material … but we’d also like to have a report … as to how the anti-racial teaching is going in our school. The work is central to the council’s legal duties under the Equality Act 2010 to eliminate discrimination, advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations between communities – as well as to encourage civic engagement by under-represented groups. What is clear is that Critical Race Theory is divisive and it doesn’t necessarily divide people along party lines or by colour. The Equalities Minister is obviously not white yet has set out clearly, eloquently and passionately why she opposes it and believes it breaches the Public Sector Equality Duty. It is an overall forecast for the net worth of Adrian Hart. The evaluation covers the latest 5 years and an approximation for next year. See above to learn how much money does Adrian Hart makes a year. And I understand that you’ve brought this issue to several committees and had a response there too.”

Mr Hart put forward some alternatives to learning materials based on critical race theory and added: “We strive to offer children a politically neutral sphere where they learn how to think as opposed to what to think.

We should be deeply concerned that the council is using very contentious and divisive philosophies to influence its guidance to schools such as CRT. By understanding the history of racism, we will equip school staff to take steps to prevent and mitigate the experiences of racism in our community. Our feeling is that it should be transparent. We represent residents in the city and obviously that includes parents.” Adrian has lived and worked in Bethnal Green and Stratford in east London since 1984, and before that he was an activist in late 1980s/early 1990s anti-racism campaigns.

All reasonable people agree racism is bad, but many people have doubts about whether this is the most appropriate way to help children see what is wrong with it and why.
