“We need to fight to reject this notion of British values.” The alternative is cultural and national suicide, but few seem to care in Britain, and those who do are being closely watched by authorities, lest they get out of line. As a free society, Britain is finished.
“Teaching children fundamental British values is act of ‘cultural supremacism,'” by Javier Espinoza, Telegraph, March 28, 2016:
Teaching children fundamental British values is an act of “cultural supremacism”, teachers have said, as members of the National Union of Teachers (NUT) vote to replace the concept with one that includes “international rights”.
A legal duty on teachers to promote so-called British values was passed two years ago after the “Trojan Horse” controversy.
However, teachers argue “fundamental British values” set an “inherent cultural supremacism, particularly in the context of multicultural schools and the wider picture of migration”.
The motion, which was passed at the NUT’s annual conference in Brighton, also calls for a campaign to promote “policies that welcome migrants and refugees into Britain” and called on members to “gather and collate materials on migrants and refugees” to be used in schools.
Following the motion, teachers were accused of looking to play “the role of fifth columnists” and that they risked making children feel guilty about being British.
The motion said migrants make a “huge economic, political and social contribution to the country” and condemned the Prime Minister for “racial stereotyping”.Michel Holland, a teacher from Lambeth, said: “I am the grandson of Irish refugees. We’re all refugees in this country.” He added: “Refugees are welcome here.”
Christopher Denson, a teacher from Coventry, said he had reservations about using the term “fundamental British values” in schools because many of his students had ancestry in countries which had been at the mercy British colonialism.
He said: “The inherent cultural supremacism in that term is both unnecessary and unacceptable. And seen with the Prevent agenda, it belies the most thinly veiled racism and a conscious effort to divide communities.”
He added: “It’s our duty to push a real anti-racist work in all schools. And that doesn’t mean talk of tolerating other’s views, but genuine, inclusive anti-racist work.”
He said every year his school discussed topics such as apartheid and the rise of Islamaphobia. He added: “This year we focussed on the migrant crisis in Calais, the Mediterranean and beyond.
“We organised a politics day for Year 8s in the week before Easter. They had a day to form a political party in their tutor groups to come up with a manifesto, film a broadcast, and make banners and take part in a debate.
“Apart from the quality of the work, the other thing that really made my proud was that every single tutor group had as a policy, ‘refugees welcome, open the borders’.”
He said: “We need to be pushing at every level for anti-racism to be in the core curriculum for every child. We need to continue to gather, collate and publicise such materials and we need to fight to reject this notion of British values, to fight for notions of human values and human rights.
“We have to stand together across communities to bring down barriers, bring down borders, to say no to Islamaphobia, no to anti-Semitism, no to facism and any form of racism. As my Year 8s said, refugees welcome, open the borders.”
Their motion was met with fierce criticism. Chris McGovern of the Campaign for Real Education, said: “Teachers should not be playing the role of fifth columnists in the ideological war currently being fought over our national identity and our national sovereignty.
“Teaching children that British values are part of “cultural supremacism” will, at best, make them feel guilty about being British and, at worst, radicalise them in order to ‘make up’ for the sins of their fathers.
“If one wishes to destroy a nation and build a ‘brave new world’ you begin by indoctrinating and brainwashing the children. This process of ‘re-education’ has started some years ago in our schools and we are, now, seeing its consequences in the suppression of free speech on our university campuses.”
Separately, teachers rejected the Government’s anti-radicalisation strategy over concerns it is silencing conversation in the classroom and damaging community cohesion.
The union called on the Government to withdraw the Prevent strategy regarding schools, which since summer 2015, has obliged teachers to refer to police pupils they suspect of engaging in some sort of terrorist activity or radical behaviour….

Surak says
Leftism is a mental illness. We acknowledge that a person is mentally ill if s/he desires to commit suicide. This should be true about a political ideology as well. I have no objections if leftists wish to destroy themselves. But I will not allow them to take down America and Western civilization with them.

Jaladhi says
Now Britain is done for sure! When the teachers of a country do not teach young minds the values and ideals of that nation, it doomed! I bet large number of teachers in this union are Muslims!
Members of this NUT are really nutty!! LOL..
Manuel Paleologus says
Thank you for your clear vision and for your sense of reality. Those are the real enemies of the good British citizens like us.
Kepha says
Jaladhi, I’m just as dismayed as you are, but let me make an observation as a professional swindler of the young–oops, high school social studies teacher.
There are just too many young teachers out there–people who are too close to their own adolescent rebellion, and, alas, who sometimes carry it on until old age. However, there are a lot of people in the teaching profession who, after a [sometimes very short] while actually do grow up. I suspect it’s true of Old Blightie as it is for us rebellious colonials.
Back to my dismay. Considering how so many of our ideas of rule of law, fair play, government restraint, measured change, and personal liberty bear a “made in Britain” stamp, I weep for my colleagues on the other side of the pond–and I speak as an American who is “Anglo-Saxon” chiefly by osmosis rather than blood.
Mockingjay says
Yeah…
who in his right mind – in an english-speaking country – would come up with the acronym NUT for ANY halfway serious, self-respecting organization – let alone a teachers’ ?

Manuel Paleologus says
Whether the UK public school use some suspicious reasons to avoid teaching the Christian moral values to the students, there is hidden agenda behind that. One someone immigrates to UK must respect the way. the culture and the moral values professed by the society of the hosting country. Islamophobia is not a reason to exclude the Christianity and to teach Islam, because islam is not a religion to begin with. Their so called god is not a real god and had nothing to do with British Imperialism in the east and far est.
By doing this, the UK society give the muslim the rope to suffocate them and ultimately to Islamized the whole society.
In fact the process has reached half of its course.
Jerry says
This immolation of ones own culture and national identity is right in line with the globalist agenda. We shan’t consider the attributes and qualities that nature and/or god has endowed us with, we must be willing to lessen our greater selves for those who chose to live with us. So if we have laws that protect our values of equality, free speech, human rights, we must be prepared to diminish their value for those we welcome in. Islam is a religiopolitical ideology that teaches hate and murder against unbelievers. We’re talking about a stone age cult created by a demented warlord. But I as westerner am called upon to be so tolerant as to welcome with open arms the people and faith that wants to destroy the best in our culture.
Yes, migrants have brought “huge economic, political and social contribution to the country.” They have also brought rape, crime, murder, religious jihad, and cultural degradation. Sorry, someone had to tell you. And yes, it’s a good idea to “…be pushing at every level for anti-racism to be in the core curriculum for every child.” …and anything like it. Murder and bigotry for religion deserve to be on the chalkboard too, teach.
The worst thing you wanna do is teach kids to not be proud of their heritage and values, especially in reaction to islam, a belief system no less hateful and dangerous than Nazism or Communism. I think it’s time to put some of these teachers on a watch list.
Mark Swan says
Jerry that seemed to be a very heart felt comment….it reached me that way.
Human beings are experiencing a time of experimentation…by choosing a mixture of
right and wrong simply means what works and does not work is ignored.
It began gradually…Yet the time We live in now has been accelerating and in such
volume that by ignoring standard known ways as to what works and does not…we can be
assured that what we get will not be what we need or want.

Sasaquatch1 says
It appears that teachers are wanting a ‘lax and easy’ curriculum so they won’t have to work at their job as hard! That is the trouble with society today! Kids out of school can’t read nor write well enough to have the knowledge of a bank account–if they are even fortunate to find a job requiring Any intelligence at al! How could they ever hope to write a book when they can’t even Read one? The country is being filled with middle east retards that herd goats and then move in as refugees wanting freebies taxpayers have earned for their retirement years while corrupt politics robs Everyone of their lifestyle having to bow to a cult religion and forfeit special favours as they cry out as being unfair, while they behead any desenter who protests their changing government into Shiria law that didn’t work in their country–but want to change OURS!. Look in a Mirror at what You are becoming! Slaves, because of no education or smarts!
Singh the Sikh says
Leftists will be the death of us infidels – literally – not to mention Muslims. We are stuck between the dumb (lefties) and the deadly (Islamists). Being herdered by the leftitists and led to the Islamists for the slaughter. In short we are quite fucked from both ends as seen by the results, most recently in Brussells, with more to come, no doubt, unless our freaking leaders wake up and do the right thing.

In this case, the acronym aptly applies.
National Union of Teachers = NUTs !
Mirren10 says
”National Union of Teachers = NUTs !”
Oh, no, they’re not ‘nuts’. They have a very carefully crafted agenda, as you can see from the article.
The NUT has always been a hotbed of Marxist filth, who want nothing better than the destruction of Western society and culture.
When I first qualified as a young teacher, I joined the NUT, simply because, at the time, it was the largest union, and I reasoned would offer the most protection.
It didn’t take many union meetings before I realised their agenda, and got out. They actually sent me a **questionnaire** demanding to know why I’d left.
mustapha crap says
I agree the NUT has always been filled with leftist scum constantly trying to indoctrinate kids with their Marxist crap. Even 30 years ago when I had left school there were teachers whom were members of ultra leftwing Militant Tendency, The NUT needs to be shut down and ALL teachers evaluated along with their lessons material.
The teaching of British history needs to be forefront of the curriculum along with the British values that have shaped the modern world, the American constitution is based on the Magna Carta and the rule of common law underpinned by the notion of EVERYONE equal under the law and nobody above it.
British children are indoctrinated from an early age to be ashamed of their history and told that British culture is only one of many equally valid cultures, which we all know is a crock of crap the vile culture of Islam is far beneath every western culture and always will be.
Keith says
I wonder if any of these prats quoted in the article would recognize decent values if they were to jump up and slap them in the face.
If they genuinely believe that Islamic values are the equivalent of British values then I feel sorry for the children they are teaching. That is also why we had the trojan horse scandal in schools in largely Islamic areas.
Carolyne says
Islamic values? ISLAMIC VALUES? Islam has no values.
Mark Swan says
I haven’t noticed any
Atheist Kaffur says
I have another argument. The reason for which Angola banned Islam. Angolans inverted the argument. Their reason for banning Islam was exactly because Angola is a multicultural and multi ethical society. and Islam is incompatible with that. They kicked out the 50 or so Muslims and brought down the Mosque. End of problem.
This is the argument that must be used..
Kepha says
Angola, born of Marxism, is scarcely a model of multiculturalism, limited covernment, or all that is good..
Mirren10 says
”The reason for which Angola banned Islam.”
I really don’t know why this delusion persists. Probably because we’d love to believe that at least one country had the balls to do it.
No, Angola has not banned islam, did not ban islam, and will probably never do so.

MTMLA says
I also read that Angola had banned islam and was destroying the mosques.
just like the African Central Republic was kicking out muslims because they see what muslims cause in other countries….only problem.
Pong says
Angola cannot banned islam, as islam is not recognized as an official religion. It is unlikely that islam will be recognized in the near future, unless such recognition will be tied to an economic necessity.

“Teaching children fundamental British values is an act of “cultural supremacism”, ”
Yep, these people are done.
Carolyne says
Actually British culture, ie Western culture is vastly superior to Islamic culture. They need to get over it.
Mark Swan says
Yep… that is the problem…envy…most of the whole world has that problem.
Tom says
Instead, they choose cultural suicide. I’m a born US citizen and I appreciate and promote British culture far more than these retched creatures. I guess Pink Floyd’s line “Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way. ~Their~ time is gone, the song is over, thought ~they’dve~ something more to say.” puts it pretty well at this point.
Shmooviyet says
We watched a terrific movie last night: “In Which We Serve” (1942), a Noel Coward/David Lean tribute to the British Navy and people during WWII. Then see this trash this morning.
That generation would be utterly sickened and DISGUSTED by what so many of their descendants have encouraged in Britain.
Are they SO ashamed of their heritage? (“Londonistan”, Melanie Phillips)
Angemon says
I propose the National Union of Teachers to be renamed the National Union of Teachers in Schools – NUTS.
You’ve heard it, folks – history is supremacist, culture is supremacist, teaching the core values of your culture is supremacist. Ending slavery? Supremacist. Forcing other countries to ending slavery? Supremacist. Ending sati? Supremacist. Oposing FGM? Supremacist. Equal rights for women? Supremacist. Equal rights for religious minorities? Supremacist. Prohibiting child marriages? Supremacist. Equal rights for homosexuals? Supremacist. Monogamy? Supremacist. So if you happen to take in someone from a culture that practices FGM, doesn’t give women equal rights, abuses religious minorities, throws gays from the top of buildings, allows men to marry several women from ages 9 and up, you best bend over backwards and allow him to live in accordance to his culture – what are you, a supremacist?
In other words, propaganda.
Kepha says
Rename it National Union of Twats Troubling You–NUTTY.

But they are promoting racism, against the indigenous English. They are promoting religious intolerance, against Christians. They are promoting every last thing they are so self rightously and sanctimoniously claiming to be against.
Mirren10 says
”They are promoting every last thing they are so self rightously and sanctimoniously claiming to be against.”
Of course they are. They’re Marxists. They think islam is the tool they can use to destroy Western culture and civilisation. They think *they* will be able to ride the tiger, dismount, and keep their lives. But they won’t.
Carolyne says
Someone posted earlier, and I’m sorry I can’t find the post at the moment, but he said he was an immigrant from Ireland to what I understood to be the UK. He said that England consists of immigrants. I have heard this nonsense about the US but never England, so I might be wrong.
However, I wanted to point out that in a cave in Cheshire in England, a cave inhabited millions of years ago by our ancestors, the DNA extracted from the remains of these cave people was compared to some local residents. Some of these contemporary residents were direct descendants of these cave people. I think this rather indicates that England is not a country of immigrants as this post seemed to indicate. at least it wasn’t until the Islamic invasion.
Mirren10 says
” He said that England consists of immigrants”
I haven’t seen the post, but I expect he was confusing immigrants with invaders who later became settlers.
The Romans, then, circa 450 – 750: the invasion of the Jutes from Jutland, Angles from the South of Denmark, and Saxons from Germany. The Vikings. The Normans in 1066.
All of these groups, originally invaders, gradually assimilated, married British/Celtic women, and became the English. They assimilated and became English, because, of course, they were essentially very similar, plus the introduction of Christianity helped.
I’ve heard this argument before; England has survived previous waves of ‘immigrants’, who have successfully assimilated, therefore we’re being racist, bigoted, ‘islamophobic’, to deny mohammedans the same opportunities.
What none of these fools will admit, is the essential difference between mohammedans, and the West. They are here to conquer and *subjugate*. There is no assimilation.
Angemon says
All standard leftist dogmas, and standard leftist behaviour.

Having 6 children (youngest is 9.5 y o), we as a family came across problems at school. Most memorable, when a teacher took one of my girls class to meet that thug, nelson mandela. Together, with other parents, we forced the teacher out. Another, when school’s football team (daughter number 2 captain) had to go to Surabaya, Indonesia, were just a few months before, moslems were killing christians. We stood firm and as a result, the tournament was moved to Singapore. We didn’t lecture our children, just occasional comment, news facts, not directed to children, but making sure they could listen and understand. Suddenly, children started to participate. By now there’s no teacher, who can brainwash any of them. One of them went to teach and at 28 has a master degree and she is an AP in a big school. Children often come to her, confused about multiculturalism and islam.
Families must take responsibility for the children. My wife and I have always been higher authority for the kids then any teacher. All you need is to love your children.
Mirren10 says
Well done you. Kudos !

In the UK most teachers etc are vague liberals, some hard left & a few conservative.
Most join unions for insurance.
My union, which I quit, was dominated by the far left.
It sends regular representatives to liase with Hamas terrorists.
Come elections at least half delegates stand as Socialist Workers Party or
Stop The War candidates. More discreet Trotskyites stand as
“rank and file”. These vile political thugs get elected over and over again by
an electorate that really does not support them, but often has no choice as
only anti Western scumbags with few friends will attend endless meetings, often ending at
midnight to ensure they frighten off the opposition.
Plutarchus says
RULE, MOHAMMED!: THE FUTURE NATIONAL ANTHEM OF ISLAMIC GREAT BRITAIN
When Mohammed first, at heaven’s command,
Arose from burning desert sands
This was a sign to every land
That Islam is their Fate.
And the holy jinn ecstatically
Sang this triumphant strain:
Rule, Mohammed!
Mohammed is the way.
All Brits shall ever ever ever
Be his slaves.
Britons not so blest as He
Must in their turn
Fall on their knees.
To Allah and his Prophet fall
While Islam triumphs eternally
The dread and envy of them all.
Rule, Mohammed!
Mohammed is the way.
All Brits shall ever ever ever
Be his slaves.
Still mightier shall Mohammed rise
More dreadful from each enemy blow
More deadly, deadly than before.
His sword shall tear apart the sky
And reign down hell upon his foes,
His victory assured.
Rule, Mohammed!
Mohammed is the way.
All Brits shall ever ever ever
Be his slaves.
Haughty infidels shall never tame,
And fail to bring the Prophet down,
And will but rouse God’s wrathful flame
As they work their woe to His renown.
Rule, Mohammed!
Mohammed is the way.
All Brits shall ever ever ever
Be his slaves.
Our jihadis with perfect freedom found,
Shall to God’s happy realm repair.
Blest with 72 pure virgins crowned,
Now that Islam’s conquered the world down here.
Rule, Mohammed!
Mohammed is the way.
All men shall ever ever ever
Be his slaves.

“Holland, a teacher from Lambeth, said: “I am the grandson of Irish refugees. We’re all refugees in this country. ”
And what a fine and welcoming country these refugees have *voluntarily* come to. One with flaws, of course, but one with magnificent social, economic and academic achievements, based on British values. And how are the British repaid for their kindness? Not very nicely – ‘ give me your money, but keep your culture and legal system out of my life. I want to recreate my old hometown here.’
I assume there is a reason so many people gravitate to Britian, and other Western nations, versus, say, Bangledesh. In the case of the former, it’s because of the British values that built that sceptered isle.
Mirren10 says
”I assume there is a reason so many people gravitate to Britian, and other Western nations, versus, say, Bangledesh.”
Yep. **Welfare**. mohammedan scum get benefits coming out their ears. Free housing, free healthcare, free education, legal aid, free transport, free iPods, mobiles, cars; you name it, they get.
Why do you think all these able bodies young mohammedans are coming over here in their millions ? Yes, it’s a hijra, but they want all the goodies, too.
If we stopped all benefits for these scum, and let it be known, loud and clear, **they would get nothing**, I guarantee the flood would slow to a trickle.

Oliver Hardly says
Absolute nonsense of course,the British are not all “refugees” ; this is the sort of twaddle spoken by the left wing so called teachers. The English came to the British Isles partly as mercenaries,partly as invaders and partly as settlers. Since the 7th century the English have been an integral part of the Island. They spoke Anglo Saxon, a Germanic language and the direct ancestor of modern English. In fact most commonly used words in English are Anglo Saxon,many recognisable. The English formed the culture of Britain,they dominated it . Although invaded by Danes and French Vikings the language remained doggedly Anglo Saxon; words were of course incorporated into the language. Despite what the Celtic races of Scotland ,Wales like to think,it was the English that made Britain. Real refugees came to ,mainly,England but in small numbers and were all assimilated because they were real refugees and useful ,industrious people who were grateful for a safe refuge from their persecutors.
Hoekom Jy My Haat says
Teachers are there to educate, not indoctrinate. Traditional British Values should be taught to all students, whether native born or immigrant. British culture IS superiour to many of the third-world cultures from which many of today’s immigrants come. If they come to Britain, then they should be taught to act British, and hopefully, eventually to think British.
Richie says
I imagine any teacher who is a conservative or even mildly patriotic must keep their opinions to themselves or risk career suicide.

No ,these people are evil and will use everything they can as a weapon to destroy Western democracy and culture,even the innocence and naïveté of children and young people.

I watched today a documentary on Youtube : The Fall of an Empire. The Lesson of Byzantium.
Boy, it’s like you are seing the hisyory of Europe today, the same madness of turning against its own values in favour of foreingn’s, unlimited mass immigration with people who refuse to assimilate, who hate the country and whose aim is to take over, weakening of the military, corruption, eventually the kingdom gets so weak that it is easily conquered by the Ottomans ( muslim conquerors) who slaughter and enslave and plunder Constantinople. History is repeating itself. The documentary says once Constantinople receives so many inmmigrants and changes its social structure , this can never be reversed.
Take your time and watch this documentary. It’s very educational and foreboding at the same time.
Carolyne says
I once attended Christmas service at Canterbury Cathedral with Rowan Williams, the then Archbishop, conducting the service. At the end of the service, he and a group of people, some with wigs, paraded in and out the doors, up the aisles, in a door, out a door, in a door, well, you get the idea. I don’t know who these people were or why they were doing this, but I was struck by the Archbishop. He had this extremely unusual beard which curved outward at the end, and he kept preening it as he walked along in his procession, whatever it was. He later said that “Sharia is inevitable” in the UK. He also went through a ceremony once which made him a Druid.
He is no longer the Archbishop of the Church of England. I don’t know if the present Archbishop is equally silly. However, IMO, such behavior would make me question the Church were I English. IMO this kind of foolishness is part of the disintegration of English culture.
