Absolutely disgusting behaviour. The poor girl pulled out of her exam needed an empathic listening ear not a dehumanising strip search So you are right Eva Akase Simpson ... 'Heads must roll over horrific strip-search of Black teenage schoolgirl' mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/h…

This 11 year old boy was repeatedly being racially abused & bullied at school. Even though his teachers were aware, nothing was done. One day he was so severely beaten that he lost his finger trying to escape his bullies. Let's help him get a new finger gofund.me/c9083ffb

Wait a minute BBC News (UK), please explain to license fee payers how this could have been a mistake. Seems like the bar is getting lower and lower for BBC news employment criteria or maybe its always been this low for certain group of people, the ones with implicit racial bias 🤔

#Racism in #education should be treated as a #safeguarding issue, with #antiracist policies in all schools says author ⁦Jeffrey Boakye⁩ Our children & young people, who are marginalised by race, are at risk if staff aren’t adequately trained theguardian.com/education/2022…

Well done Scotland. We cannot continue to ignore the reality of racism and its insidious nature. We cannot heal what we do not face up to and we all need healing from the idea of race and its impact.

We get you and as for throwing shade, you can't reduce yourself or hide your principles because of someone else's ego. It's up to individuals to take responsibility for their choices. We'll done Seyi Akiwowo 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿

Racism is widespread in education. We have staff worried about returning to work next week. This past year shows there is a need for a helpline dedicated to supporting teachers in the Black community to stay in the profession. Follow & RT to amplify our work.
