This is a horrific read.
But, again, it’s why I encourage men to loudly complain when they get roped into ‘bants’ like this.
It’s tough. You face possible ostracisation. We. Get. It.
But you’re also our main hope. We can’t do this alone.

This is devastating and unnecessary.
Why should you be kept out of a music, or art, or dance, or drama degree for getting a grade 3 in maths? Why should you be stopped from gaining a maths degree for getting a 3 in English?
And why let rich kids avoid these rule?!

I would like to see what ‘evidence’ they examined to explain why black men are 19 times more likely to be stopped and searched and black women are 4 times more likely to die during pregnancy or childbirth.

George Floyd and I were both arrested for allegedly spending a counterfeit $20 bill. For George Floyd, a man my age, with two kids, it was a death sentence. For me, it is a story I sometimes tell at parties. That, my friends, is White privilege.

I’ve noticed more and more #BAMEed Black, Asian, or Minority Ethnic educators tweeting about race and racism. I also notice that they seem to lose followers, or lack engagement. Don’t let this DIVIDE us. Let these challenges connect us, bring us together and unite us for change.

All quite remarkable. Can you imagine a debate about "do you believe that women's rights should be taught?" Or "do you believe that Jew's rights should be taught?" Can you imagine how easy dismissed it would be even if someone said "ah, but my faith says women are lesser". – at Watford, East
This item discussed the parent protests against the teaching of LGBT sex education in English schools. We heard from a parent who disagrees with the policy & a Birmingham head teacher. Our earlier tweet didn't reflect the item & we have removed it. bbc.in/2JFqQ0z
