[@beamanact]

"The Greatest Love of All" was not originated by Whitney Houston, although her version became the best known. The song was written to accompany the end credits of a 1977 film called "The Greatest" about Muhammad Ali. George Benson originated the song. It's not a great example to use for the purpose here. It's a song about instilling in young (Black) children a sense of pride--and the primary message is "I believe that children are the future...teach them well, and let them lead the way." The chorus goes as follows: "I decided long ago never to walk in anyone's shadow--if I fail, if I succeed, at least I lived as I believed." This song is actually about EDUCATING kids to understand where they come from, and to have pride in themselves, and to live according to their beliefs; i.e., personal responsibility. "Teach them well, and let them lead the way." Ms. Birbalsingh needs a different example.

There is a place for different teaching styles, but if we are going to pick the one that works for most, Ms Birbalsingh appears to have the bull by the horns. She raises people to not make excuses, be grateful for the wealth of education they receive and do something with it. A good school like hers is an island now. It used to be normal.

[@mikegray8776]

Well spoken, Katharine. So many well-constructed and passionate speeches at this event - but one can only hope that those attending ARE actually moved to be less cowardly and more vocal in opposing the headlong dash towards self-serving middle class wokery. I frankly doubt it, but at least this event - hopefully staged annually hereafter - will provide a focus and an impetus for the few who value community and heritage over “status” - that huge gift which Big Tech has endowed us with. Fabulous contribution, Katharine, to an enormously impressive event. Thank you. 👏🏼

This lady has it right on all counts and I really do admire her. Through years of inefficient governmentd, and now compounded by nascient wokeism, British seem to have forgotten what patriotism/nationalism is all about. Compared to other countries on the planet, the British are almost totally deficient in this domain. A campaign to re-galvanise this sentiment within Britain is urgently necessary and I al sure that this lady could be a pivotal element of such a campaign. In addition to thzt I just adore her style.

Like the use of the term “Liberal” in America, the Conservative brand in the UK has now been virtually stripped of all meaning and relevance. Westminster “Conservatives” either need to re-embrace real conservatism VERY RAPIDLY, or the reasonable & largely unacknowledged majority of the country, need to rally around a new Nationalist movement which will uphold the values that the Tories have now retreated from.

[@victoriahigman6802]

I’m interested. I was a teacher. Near the beginning of the wasteland of emptiness. The lack of a sense of ‘my’ country. I admire you as a fighter against the emptiness. My training was to operate without the cultural pillars of life. So that (with some hesitance) I didn’t even know what I didn’t know. I was also leftist. As an RE teacher one of my A level students once commented that she wanted to learn ‘IT’ instead of about ‘IT’. I had no answer. But I do now. I dropped the group thing and made them face me. But what was it ‘I’ was bringing for them?

[@fraseredk7433]

Why would anyone who doesn't want to teach there, teach there? Or any of the administrative support, for that matter? They can all go be peas in a pod at any ordinary school, where they will all hear exactly what they want to hear coming out of the mouths of their peers all day every day.

[@tomthumb2361]

I think the problem is the outdated words of the national anthem, which is about our unelected head of state. Other people have anthems about the country and its people. Personally, I'm very patriotic and incredibly conservative culturally; but I come from a dissenting background and don't acknowledge the legitimacy of an outdated and superannuated monarchy and the current oligarchic constitutional settlement. So I can hardly be expected to sing the national anthem with any enthusiasm, if at all.

[@sj_-_]

What she is actually saying in this speech is that conservatism is massively out of step with society, but she is failing to realise that to survive, conservatusm needs to radically change to get in step. Thatcher realised this after the winter of discontent. Blair realised it after 20 years of Thatcherism, and Statmer realises it now. Sunak hasn't realised it and unless his succesor does there will not be another Consrvative government for 15 to 20 years.

[@matthewstokes1608]

The Conservative party are in league with the Labour party and merely agree (in their Westminster theatrical club) to interchange power between them - “you wear the red jersey and we’ll wear the blue - and we’ll fake a situation where we actually are involved in anything more than taking backhanders” … payment and marching orders from international powers hellbent on destroying the last vestiges of democracy and implementing global tyranny under a few corporations… Davos and the Bildebergers - the .00001% who already control everything we see and hear and think. Revolution or change is now completely impossible as (just as with the UK, the EU, Canada - and all the Commonwealth - “Dominion” has been internationally secured (as Trump and Putin and all other dreamers will soon discover). It is too late. BUT, mercifully, Christ will pay these “leaders” back in a day of absolute justice which is an infinitely more important matter, as Eternity is going to be a very long time! So, thank the Lord that the judgement of these overlords is coming and it will be severe. What great news this is!!

[@danielearley5062]

No, she is saying that society is being shaped by people that do not have any interest in it other than to promote their own self-interests. Note the bit about being either oppressed or privileged. Starmer realises nothing other than what the latest survey from within Islington tells him, that is why he takes the knee, thinks women can have a penis and can't come up with a single policy of his own that he won;t back down on or reverse.

In the U.S., especially, THE PROBLEM WITH THE SCHOOLS STARTS IN THE COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES and TEACHER UNIONS, WHICH HAVE GOTTEN AN IRON-FISTED GRIP ON THE ("EDUCATION") INDOCTRINATION OF TEACHERS AT ALL LEVELS OF PRIMARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION. Teachers should be people who are trained and educated FIRST in some field of skill other than teaching, THEN vetted and trained in how to teach and mentor students. Too many (most) of our teachers today, HAVE NO REAL-WORLD, PRACTICAL SKILLS in any other field of study or endeavor, but are the product of the "progressive" (Marxist/Communist Ideology) indoctrination being pumped into their young skulls full of mush at the College or University level.

British education was deliberately destroyed: no school (even the best private ones) teaches chronological history, classical authors, Latin and Greek (the roots of our civilisation), English grammar; present standards are incredibly low compared to 70 years ago (allegedly because they do not want certain people to be "offended"), I even came across graduates who have no idea how to use the apostrophe.
