Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 September 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

In that sense, anti-racism education is contentious. Increasing numbers of schools deploy anti-racist strategies and have adopted uncritically, for example, critical race theory. They argue that a colour-blind approach—that is, not focusing on skin colour—is itself racist. They parrot the line that there is white privilege. For many young white children, that can be guilt-inducing. In other words, it is a dangerously politicised area and we should at least consider that.
