Kemi Badenoch wants to emphasize that British history is ‘everyone’s history’
The United Kingdom’s public education curriculum should be “knowledge-rich” and not primarily focused on racism, according to a black conservative parliamentarian tasked with improving racial equality.
Kemi Badenoch ( pictured) wants the government’s focus to shift away from “political activism” and a complete history of the United Kingdom, instead of that of individual minority groups.
“A knowledge-rich curriculum” would be the best way to promote inclusivity and shared national identity, Badenoch has previously told The Spectator .
Badenoch stated: We often hear about there not being enough detail on slavery, the American civil rights movement. I don’t think that’s appropriate – black groups are not the largest minority in the country, it’s Asians and yet we don’t hear as much about Asian history – why are we picking one particular group out and highlighting it – I think there’s a lot that’s wrong with those approaches. A knowledge-rich curriculum allows schools to look at best practice – it will also help emphasise that British history is everyone’s history. My daughter came home from school and said, “It’s Black history month – we’re doing it because every other month is white history,” and I was appalled. It is completely wrong. The history of this country – all our historical figures, the kings and queens, the inventors and scientists who were white also belong to the black children of this country. As the Minister of State for Equalities, Badenoch has been tasked with responding to a 2021 report , The Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities , which concluded that the UK education system does not have a systemic problem with racism.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
