HOW THE GOVERNMENT HAS DECLARED WAR ON WHITE ENGLISH PEOPLEThursday August 9,2007
England is in the middle of a profoundly disturbing
social experiment. For the first time in a mature democracy, a
Government is waging a campaign of aggressive discrimination against its
indigenous population.
Such social engineering
was justified by the Agency on the grounds that minorities were
under-represented in its workforce, the parrot cry used by bureaucrats
throughout the public sector to justify bias against the English. Such practices are dressed up as “positive action” to widen diversity and, in the words of one Labour council, “to overcome past discrimination”. So HM Revenue and Customs offers work experience jobs, worth up to £15,900 a year pro-rata, to ethnic minority graduates, while the Museums Association has two-year ethnic minority apprenticeships.
Similarly, Birmingham City Council gives £16,000 a year to “black and minority ethnic individuals” in its “Positive Action Traineeship Scheme”, and a £10,000 allowance to clerical trainees from “the Bangladeshi and Pakistani communities”. Discriminatory training schemes can also be found in ITV, the civil service and the NHS, which boasts “a management development programme specifically designed and tailored to the needs of black and minority ethnic midwives”.
It is a bitter irony that the Labour Government, which
works itself into such a synthetic rage over racial prejudice, should
practise overt discrimination on an epic scale. The remorseless focus on
supporting minorities has led to a perverted ideology of anti-white
racism. Comment on Cross of St George

English girl barred from Government job...because she is wrong kind of white
Last updated at 10:27am on 5th August 2007
A teenage science student has been banned from applying for a training programme with the Environment Agency because she is white and English. The recruitment agency handling the scheme told Abigail Howarth, 18, that there was no point in her submitting an application because of her ethnic background. But bizarrely she could have applied if she had been white and Welsh, Scottish or Irish.
Abigail, who wanted to join the Agency's flood management programme, saw an advert in a local newspaper offering positions in the Anglia region where she lives, complete with a £13,000-a-year tax-free grant. It made no mention of the ban on white English applicants, merely noting that candidates from ethnic minorities, such as "Asian, Indian' and "White Other, e.g. Irish, Welsh, Scottish', were encouraged to put themselves forward. Abigail, of Little Straughton, Bedfordshire, said: "I was really disappointed. To be told being "White English" ruled me out in my home county shocked me. I know why there are positive action training schemes to assist those who are genuinely discriminated against but when it's broken down to this level it seems crazy to me. "I really wanted to work for the agency and I was very excited - followed by feeling very disappointed. "I would not have minded had I been beaten for the position by somebody better able than me." Abigail, who is awaiting the results of A-Levels in environmental science, geography and geology, emailed PATH National Ltd, the company handling applications. She asked: "Am I correct in assuming that as I am English (White) I need not apply as the preference is for the minorities you have listed, or can I apply anyway?' Three days later, PATH recruitment officer, Bola Odusi, replied: "Thank you for your enquiry unfortunately the traineeship opportunity in <\[>sic] targeted towards the ethnic minority group to address their under representations in the professions under the Race Relations Act amended 2000." Such a policy may breach Race Relations legislation as employers must prove ethnic groups are under-represented before using positive discrimination strategies. The Environment Agency admitted it had 'no evidence that white Welsh, Scottish or Irish workers were under-represented' in the Anglia region. South West Bedfordshire Tory MP Andrew Selous said: "I think this is complete nonsense and the Environment Agency should be taking the best people, irrespective of their background. "This is obviously borne out of some idiotic quota system. Abigail should have been able to apply and been judged on her own merits. I will raise this when I have a meeting with the Environment Agency next month." +

The idea that an indigenous English person, with no identifiable ethnic minority ancestors, should be made a second class citizen in her own country illustrates the deep sickness afflicting our society.

BBC report Pupil history knowledge 'patchy' Pupils in primary and secondary schools across England lack an overview of world history and have little sense of chronology, Ofsted inspectors warn. The watchdog said the curriculum was too England-focused, ignoring the rest of the UK and Europe. They also complained that after the age of 13, only one in three children studies history at all. Ministers and Ofsted say a new secondary curriculum from 2008 will address many of the points raised. The watchdog based its findings on inspections carried out between 2003 and 2007. It said the biggest issue for school history was its "limited place" in the curriculum and that history in primaries had been neglected in recent years with the focus on literacy and numeracy. "History, along with some other subjects, has been relatively neglected in primary schools in recent years as schools have focused on literacy and numeracy," the report said. "History's limited role is also apparent in secondary schools. In Key Stage 4 (the GCSE years), only just over 30% of pupils study history and fewer still post-16." The inspectors said the subject also faced prejudice, with some policy developers, senior school managers, parents and pupils seeing history as less important or relevant than other subjects. England focus Inspectors identified that pupils were poor at establishing a chronology and did not make connections between the areas they had studied. As a result, they were not able to answer the "big questions". "Although pupils often know something about selected periods or events - for example, children in Victorian times, Henry VIII and his wives or the Aztecs - they are weak at linking this information to form an overall narrative or story." The report continued: "Pupils of all ages tend to study particular issues in depth but are seldom encouraged to form overviews or draw wider implications." Ofsted raised concerns about schools focusing too heavily on aspects of English history. "Those parts of the curriculum relating to Scotland, Wales and Ireland are very largely ignored, as are major European and world themes. "Importantly too, in many schools, the stories of the people who have come to Britain over the centuries are ignored, even though these include the personal histories of some of the pupils." Inspectors said "curriculum innovation" could help understanding and counter prejudice and racism. They said history was linked to debates on citizenship and "Britishness" and could help pupils understand relevant historical contexts. Primary 'weaknesses' The report highlighted that most teachers of history in primary schools were non-specialists. Inspectors said the "limited training and subsequent lack of confidence" of teachers meant they were unwilling to be creative with the curriculum. "Post-graduate initial teacher training courses for new primary teachers and the subsequent induction year provide very limited experience of teaching history." Primary schools are urged to devise a more coherent curriculum "that links more closely with pupils' needs and prepares them for life". The report said the needs of "high-achieving historians" were also being overlooked. Schools Minister Jim Knight said: "History is already a strong subject in schools but action we are taking on the types of issues raised in today's Ofsted report will help us improve standards even further. "We agree with many of the points raised by Ofsted and addressed them in our revised secondary curriculum launched last week. "The new curriculum has strengthened the requirement that all pupils need to have a good chronological understanding of history, this is compulsory at primary Key Stages too. "Schools must also teach a broad spectrum of local, British, European and world studies at each Key Stage providing pupils with a thorough grounding in historical knowledge." The Historical Association says it is concerned that timetable changes in schools are further cutting time devoted to history. Heather Scott, chair of the association's secondary committee, said: "We remain particularly concerned by the growing number of secondary schools ending pupil statutory entitlement to Key Stage 3 history in Year 8 by collapsing the Key Stage into two years. "In effect, time for history is reduced by a third and the age at which pupils no longer study the subject falls to 13."+ http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/education/6904206.stm 16 July 2007
Daily Mail All-white schools told to mix with other races or be labelled 'failing'
Last updated at 22:46pm on 15th July 2007 Schools with mainly white pupils could be labelled "failing" if they don't encourage children to mix with other races and religions. Ministers will unveil guidance to heads on how to comply with a new legal duty to promote community relations. Schools in rural or suburban areas will be urged to twin with multi-ethnic schools, for example by staging joint plays or sporting events. Faith schools should link up with different denominations while schools with no religious affiliation should arrange trips to churches, mosques and synagogues. Schools should also bring together local parents from different backgrounds by holding coffee mornings, curriculum evenings and parent and child courses. Ofsted inspectors will be handed powers to check schools are meeting the new duty, which comes into force in September. Those judged to be falling short face the prospect of their governing bodies taken over by council hit squads or even closure.+ Full article http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=468564&in_page_id=1770 *
