[Terms such as 'white privilege'
may have contributed to 'neglect' of
disadvantaged white pupils, report by MPs finds]


https://news.sky.com/story/terms-suc...finds-12337996

Debated live
on TV news and all Radio.

[ChristmasNeeve]

So by the same token "black on Black crime" is a class thing also not a race thing.......Just saying

[Christmas Dynamo]

maybe the BBC can advertise "Whites only " jobs to address this?

[Smithy]

The government have been in power for over 10 years if they wanted to something about this they would have done

They’d rather vote to keep them hungry during the holidays

[The Slim Reaper]

Why don't you create a GB news thread so you can keep all this in one place?

oh...

[bots]

when you shift norms, one group gains and another loses. It's a very difficult thing to correct inequality and it not adversely affect something else

On the subject of GB news, the op seems to have an obsession. This report was discussed on multiple news platforms, it doesn't need the voice from an extremist news outlet

It's a statistics thing. I'm not ashamed to say it and stating a fact doesn't make me a racist.

[CheapLousyFaggit]

To be fair, white people caught in a poverty trap have no real advantages over black people in the same situation. Acting like "white privilege" is still a thing just gives an excuse to leave people behind, instead of addressing things which can affect anyone.

…I don’t understand, what is the ‘white privilege report’…?…so far as I can see there is no such report…there is The report of the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities which makes points about all disadvantaged children of all races and includes institutionalised racism also…the report covers lots of areas in communities and education is only one area and aspects of it have been widely criticised …(…including the education section…)… because taking segments out of context in media reporting etc is only aimed at creating divisiveness…

[Pigeon Lady]

…the issue isn’t anything in a report on Race and Ethnic Disparities, the issue is taking focus out of context and purposefully filtering to divide….

Exactly
Poverty and struggles are with families and children of all backgrounds and race, this just feels like another way to cause arguments.

This report has its own narrow-minded agenda sadly.

[The Slim Reaper]

School funding is the lowest for 40 years after austerity cuts.

White kids are not being deprived by non-white kids, they're being deprived by their government but being thrown a boogeyman to blame instead of holding Tories to account. Divide and conquor.

GB news is a joke, it's a 'news' channel for snowflakes that want to be told what they want to hear.

Being debated this afternoon on Talkradio. Some excellent calls stating of course the problem has been around since at least the 70s so to try and make some political dig about this scandal is foolish. Its the biggest news story today and of course needs its own thread imo.

A bunch of right wing snowflakes getting together doesn't make the channel anymore valid.

I will have my say on it regardless, 'you're not being forced to watch it' is not an argument.

….I have no interest in your manipulated titles, Arista…it’s seems to be life in the fake title lane atm…all disadvantaged children are being let down by their government, the same government who commissioned this report …it’s the same report that found ‘no institutionalised’ racism present in society because it’s aimed to divide…United Nations have criticised it, Education have criticised it…what the disadvantaged and all other children need in their classrooms is funding, not unhelpful, divisive reports to divert…

it would appear if they get more funding they will spend it on the wrong people




teachers need to look at themselves and not the "government"
