Education Watch – Turning Point UK

We have received many reports of political bias in our education system. We will publish the examples we receive here.

Please see our FAQ about Education Watch for further details of what we aim to achieve here – as well as what we do not.

It’s time to end the politicisation of our young people by people who should know better! If you have any evidence of this, then please submit it to us using this form. You can include some contact details in your message if you would like us to get in touch, or you can report it anonymously.

The fight-back begins now!

19th December 2019: It seems fairly clear how this teacher feels about politics. The e-mail was sent to 75 students.

24th December 2019: This is a recording of a science lecture where the lecturer compared US President Donald Trump to a cancer cell.

26th December 2019: This video is supposedly a recording of a Science lecture, but to us it sounds more like Remainer propaganda.

29th December 2019: This looks like another way of normalising extremist views, as it fails to mention the massive failures and high death tolls in Marxist states.

31st December 2019: This Science lecturer is telling his students that they “need to think like scientists, not Daily Mail
readers”.

7th March 2020: Staff at this school tweeted out their high praise for this “thought-provoking” student-led Assembly on “Equality”…

… though the fact that it compared Farage and Trump to Hitler apparently went unchallenged. Note: these are the views of students, not staff. However, we object to the lavish praise from staff for such an inherently extreme position.

28th April 2020: Here we see a lecturer at Keele University telling people not to vote Conservative on Twitter, and seemingly blaming the Coronavirus crisis on them. From a personal account, this would be fine, but his bio mentions both his role as a lecturer and his university employer.

14th May 2020: Shared by Rebecca Ryan on Twitter. This is said to be from her daughter’s Geography classwork, which was apparently sent in a PowerPoint presentation.

31st May 2020: The student who shared this with us commented: “This document is a selection of the essay titles available to final year law students. There are 3 questions here which require you to accept a Left-wing political agenda in order to answer the question, without scope to question the original assertion.”

13th June 2020: This Sixth Form Pastoral Manager appears to have no qualms in expressing his own political bias to all the staff and students at his educational institution.

17th June 2020: This educator claims that many children are subject to “far-right propaganda” in their own homes, and that they need to hear their “Marxist” teachers “preaching” alternative views.

4th July 2020: This teacher appears to believe it is her job to make a “positive impact on society” by teaching certain children about their “privilege”. We would argue that a teacher’s job is to show people ‘how to think’, not ‘what to think’.

14th September 2020: This slide is from a presentation about changing the name of a school House, from ‘Drake‘ to a noted figure to be selected by the students.

19th May 2021: This Head of Department at a secondary school asked for assistance on Twitter with explaining to children how it is impossible to be racist towards white people. She has since deleted both this post and her entire account.

Disappointing to see @cardiffuni senior lecturer, Professor @LloydLlewJ brand Welsh Tories as “the lowest form of life”.

Lecturers should be encouraging diversity of thought and promoting an inclusive campus, not attacking students for their political affiliation. pic.twitter.com/qGfkXkZKlM

21st June 2021: The Cardiff University Conservative Society highlights how a Professor at the institution publicly described fellow compatriots who vote Conservative – which will include some of his own students – as “the lowest form of life”.
