The conservative movement has been on the rise in the last few years. The recent riots in the UK shows that there is discontent among the people there. But, it appears that the educational system in the UK is trying to challenge “Whiteness” to which some may find problematic. 

The Telegraph states, Teachers will soon be trained to challenge “Whiteness” in classrooms, according to new guidelines for teacher-training courses aimed at fostering anti-racist education. 

The guidance, endorsed by several universities in the UK, encourages educators to question traditional concepts like “meritocracy” and “objectivity” and to disrupt the centrality of Whiteness in education. It also suggests helping white student teachers develop a positive racial identity rooted in reality and allyship. 

The framework, which includes references to colonialism and racism, aims to create a more diverse teaching workforce and promote racial justice through activism in education.

Conservatives feel that this is a form of brainwashing. They state that brainwashing children to “hate” themselves should be illegal. Granted, the intentions behind this movement is possibly not as sincere as the woke community may think as it sparks division among the people. 

Unfortunately, there are a number of anti-Semitic comments thrown towards the Jewish people. Hatred towards individuals based on their race, ethnicity and religion should be a thing that is left in the past. But, individuals on both ends of the spectrum refuse to meet eye to eye. 

Hating White people should not be something that is acceptable in our society, along with hating any other races and ethnicities as well. The lack of decorum and respect people have for one and another may lead to the downfall of our society as it is.
