Tory MP says people using term ‘white privilege’ should be referred to Prevent
People who use the “extremist” term ‘white privilege’ should be reported to the government’s counter-terrorism programme Prevent, a Tory MP has said.
In a recording obtained by The Independent, Jonathan Gullis said it’s “racist” to suggest that every white person is “riddled” with white privilege.
“Any teacher who’s perpetuated [it] in the classroom ultimately should face a disciplinary hearing at the very least,” said the politician, who represents the Stoke-on-Trent North constituency.
He went on to add that “woke teachers” who want to push their political ideology in the classroom should run against him in the next general election.
