Human Resources departments in public institutions and businesses miss no opportunity to trumpet its significance.

Teaching ‘white fragility’ is bad for kids of color

From Psychotherapist to Psychoactivist: How Therapy is Becoming Derailed

By Val Thomas This is a public health warning: the seal on the tin labelled Counselling and Psychotherapy has been tampered with and the contents have become contaminated. Mainstream culture has been captured by Critical Social Justice, an ideology that prioritises group identity over the individual. The wholescale adoption of this belief system threatens to […]

As a group of DDU supporters who work in academia, we feel compelled to draw attention to the potential problems of the Universities UK report. We contacted Universities UK (UUK) with a request for information about their methodology, including sample surveys used, in order to get a fuller picture. These were not made available. In […]

Critical race theory: a ruling-class ideology

The mainstreaming and elite-backing of anti-racism initiatives is promoting a new form of racial thinking, argues Joanna Williams in spiked. A new elite is using not racism but anti-racism to invent and exploit differences between people. Rather than aiming to end racism, they want it to continue indefinitely. Just at the point when ‘scientific’ racism […]

Following the murder of school teacher Samuel Paty, over 100 French academics published a Manifesto supporting a universalist approach to education.
