It's 'call a spade a spade' time with this stuff. These people don't care about protecting kids - they care about hatred.

Education is often perceived as a threat by the far right yet education remains the best tool we have to counter racist narratives, to address prejudice against refugees and to tackle intolerance in our communities.
NASUWT will not allow the spreading of misinformation and inciting violence to go unchecked - racism or bigotry of any kind must not be tolerated.

If we are serious about ending sexual harassment and misogyny/misogynoir in education, we must commit to intersectional action, policies that see race, gender and gender identity together and organising that builds power, individually and collectively.

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

Standing up for women’s rights means rejecting racism and division, and building unity to demand real action to end violence against women and girls.

Younger generations need to know that their lives won’t get better with crypto grifts, or oppressing others. Their lives will get better by joining trade unions and forming solidarity with others. A strong trade union movement is one of the best lines of defence a country has against fascism.
