Deb Austin said: “I’m aware that Mr Hart has been trying to access the training materials used by an independent trainer who is employed outside of the city council – and that request has been refused on the grounds of commercial sensitivities. There is nothing in our strategy that aims to engender guilt or victimhood – and the development of critical thinking skills is one element of our educational output. CRT is a set of beliefs about society – not facts. Its message to children is that they are either the bearers or the victims of ‘white privilege’. Our race and literacy training for schools explains that we are all one human race and that race is a social construct used, for example, to justify slavery and the holocaust.

When he came to the realization that wasn't his future, he told his mother who was very supportive. His father ended up forcing the coming out, having already suspected, in an extremely intense scene. When Ramzi told him what he wanted to hear, his father became quiet and said "why don't you just put a bullet in my head." Ramzi's sister, who is also queer and had come out before, was also present. The invitation CRT issues to children is, precisely, that they should define themselves and each other as victims or oppressors according to their colour. Councillor O’Quinn said: “Councillors have actually been refused access to these teaching materials. Conservative councillor Alistair McNair said: “I support what Councillor O’Quinn has said and I agree with Mr Hart as well. Councillor Alistair McNairI can go on to my laptop if I want to look at what is being taught in secondary schools and I can go to the examples and I can find out what is being taught and so on. We accept that as a council we have got a lot to learn and a lot to do to prevent and mitigate against the racism that pupils, students and their families have told us happens in our schools.

If you had known of the controversies surrounding CRT, you would have had reason to investigate if the strategy breaches the ‘public sector equalities duty’ by fostering divisions among children. Adrian Hart We would just like to ask that we are given access to this material … but we’d also like to have a report … as to how the anti-racial teaching is going in our school. Schools are also free to engage any training providers to deliver training for their staff in line with school values and policy.

Green councillor Hannah Clare, who chairs the Children, Young People and Skills Committee, said: “I don’t have anything more to add as I think you’re aware of our positive position towards the importance of discussing the reality and existence of racism in schools The work is central to the council’s legal duties under the Equality Act 2010 to eliminate discrimination, advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations between communities – as well as to encourage civic engagement by under-represented groups.

sector equality duty’ – the duty to foster good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it.” We are proud of how Brighton and Hove schools are engaging with us and leading on this complex work and hopeful that our approach will make a difference.” An update on the council’s anti-racism pledge is due to go before the Tourism, Equalities, Communities and Culture Committee on Thursday (17 June). It is my understanding that people who have engaged with the strategy are overwhelmingly in support of it. Mr Hart put forward some alternatives to learning materials based on critical race theory and added: “We strive to offer children a politically neutral sphere where they learn how to think as opposed to what to think.By understanding the history of racism, we will equip school staff to take steps to prevent and mitigate the experiences of racism in our community. At GCSE or A level stages, partisan political or religious ideologies are rightly presented, discussed and balanced with differing perspectives, but we accept that they should never be promoted.”
