My new piece in the @guardian on why liberal antiracists - with their emphasis on correcting vocabulary, diversity training, and unconscious biases - are powerless against today's structures of racism.

A huge win for humanity today 🎉
The cruelty and violence of this removal scheme cannot be understated. We hope this decision, and the widespread resistance to these policies, signals a turning tide in favour of a more humane, compassionate approach to people seeking safety.

I had a fantastic day at the @ResearchCRED conference today. Many takeaways and food for thought, but mostly inspiration that there are so many of us committed to disrupting systemic racism in education.

Can you imagine your child receiving SEVERAL letters of hatred in their bag? HOW are they supposed to feel safe at school? They can’t!

I’ve kept quiet for so long out of respect for others, and I actually can’t do it anymore. Kids are NOT SAFE.

The truth is, today myself and my team had a horrible day speaking to pupils who clearly express misogynistic, fatphobic, racist ideologies.

I’m actually tired of not voicing things on here for one fear or another. The fact is, there are SERIOUS problems in schools threatening the safeguarding of pupils that are experiencing racism.
