More than half of Britain's universities are teaching students a "woke ideology", a new league table has claimed.The table, put together by right-wing think thank Civitas, found that many students were being given "trigger warnings" for upsetting material, and were being taught about "white privilege" in "a new moralism that reeks of hypocrisy".
A Conservative MP and former education the minister slammed the universities in light of the findings, calling the teaching "poisonous". The league table, put together by researcher Dr Richard Norrie, ranks universities for their "campus wokery" by looking through their websites, as well as national and local media.
Some other examples include Aberdeen University giving a trigger warning for Peter Pan because of its "emotionally challenging" content, and Chester University warning students reading the Harry Potter books that they "can lead to difficult conversations about gender, race, sexuality, class and identity".
More Tufton Street rubbish
'Woke' is not a pejorative so why is it a bad thing to teach students to be aware of injustice so that they can make up their own minds about it? It is like you don't understand how education works. If someone is aware of something it is not same as indoctrination.
'University students in being taught how not to be a thick c*nt bigots shocker'
The critics in question:
Another one of the Tufton Street Taliban with their manufactured culture wars nonsense LBC should not be giving these lobby groups the veneer of credibility
Why does your headline frame this as though the critics are right, instead of laughing at their nonsense?
Who are these critics, where do they come from, and what agendas might they be pushing?
They work to a curriculum/syllabus ffs
I bet most people who wish they could get a better job also are the same ones who think Equality, Diversity and Inclusion is ridiculous.
Civitas is a fake think tank. Stop with this shit
Stop with this absolute bollox
Just half
Wow who knew ffs 😂😂😂
A 'woke ideology' requires pretty high intelligence tbh this comes as no surprise 👍
The real poisoning is done by the broadcast and tabloid media gutter press
Critics slammed a right wing think-tank for 'poisoning' UK politics after a predictable whinging report complained that students are being taught to question rectionary ideology.
This is a western phenomena,they dwell among us, insidious academics poisoning the minds of future generations,praying at the alter of Baal the Woke. Their smug knowing grimace and “Oh so tolerant”smirk ,with not a moment of self doubt ,whilst destroying the fabric of society .
