I’ve been cancelled for standing up to racial identity politics | An education conference has disinvited me because my presence would make speakers feel ‘unsafe’.
... I was due to speak in a debate tomorrow entitled ‘What is indoctrination within education and how can we avoid it?’. But because I actively campaign against racial indoctrination in schools, I was disinvited. (Ironically, I was also the only person of colour on the panel.) ...
That a non-white woman from a group called "Don’t Divide Us" is considered "cancellable" is glaring evidence that woke culture is about protecting and promoting their authoritarian, communist, worldview.
For background, here's the Don't Divide Us page: https://dontdivideus.com/
They are a UK group.
From their "our beliefs" page:
We should treat everyone as an individual worthy of respect regardless of race, religion or the colour of their skin. We call this colourblind anti-racism – it is based on freedom and tolerance – and we believe it is the best way to counter prejudice where it does exist. Today’s so-called anti-racism sees group identity before it sees a person and risks reinforcing prejudice by dividing us into a world of victims and oppressors. Britain is a successful multi-cultural society with a positive story to tell about race relations. We won’t benefit from importing divisive political ideas from the US that don’t reflect our history and which undermine our shared values today.
The woke are ACTIVELY trying to prevent harmonious race relations.
Of course, cancelation so there is no difficult conversations, meaning, we have no touch with reality, just our vision without consideration.
The author needs to focus on who is funding these folks and why.
Agreed.
When the author talks about being cancelled. She is making the case they are legit.
They are cancelling her not because they are afraid of talking with her. They are cancelling her because the powers that be need to lie to people.
Their entire ideology is centered around Division and Envy. If they don’t pit groups against each other then their ideology falls apart. Because gasp. People may actually have constructive dialogue and compromises about addressing various real or perceived Social and Societal ills.
They cannot win by doing things properly, so they cheat.
Every time, always.
Playbook.
Badge of Honor, fren, badge of honor.
put in a complaint through work that anyone that was in attendance at this conference is now making you feel unsafe as there must be some sort of conspiracy to do harm to you and others like you (mainly us).
Spiked on-line is a very odd organisation
Back in the 1980s they were the Revoluntionary Communist Party. A typical far left group. They were however much wealthier than other far left groups, and instead of seling newspapers outside tube stations they published a glossy magazine called Living Marxism. It was pretty well known that they were a front organisation for MI5. Over the last 30 years the same people have popped up, this time on the right of politics, always well resourced. Nothing has happened to persuade me that they aren't still a front for British Intelligence. Anyone interacting with them should be very cautious that they aren't handing the deep state their details
