'WOKE Teachers Are BANNED From My School!' - Katharine Birbalsingh

[@deepoole820]

Imagine if Ms Birbalsingh could be minister for Education !

[@DuncanSelvester]

Yes please!!

[@christopherflux6254]

It’s incredible to think she used to be a member of the Social Workers Party

[@wolfmon9]

To honest to be a politician

[@James-l5s7k]

A socialist position. You're woke AF. Socialism defines wokeness.

[@FG-ph4gv]

Completely tired of moral brainwashing of kids. Teachers in public schools have no qualifications in morality to be imposing their views on children. Moral formation must be left to parents, academic formation can be done by schools.

[@neilanderson6280]

This woman should be minister for education

[@daveg5857]

We need her in the U.S. as sec. of ed. Maybe she can telecommute,

[@rensha8635]

This woman is awesome. Strong, bright and articulate and not afraid. Bravo !

[@jiminverness]

Awesome woman.

[@DuncanSelvester]

Wow! What a bright and cogent lady. More please, more,more, more. She is a star, bless her and her ideas.

[@philipmilner9638]

Ms Birbalsingh, speaks more sense than the politicians...

[@marcfitzhenry7581]

I love how this lady thinks!

[@jaynebuchanan4612]

I am so proud of this wonderful lady, Katharine Birbalsingh!

[@dukecity7688]

The same people who enthusiastically signed up their children knowing there was no school prayer now demanding school prayer. Did you say something like this "everyone has bigotry inside and some opportunity can bring it out". This example is a strong argument for that. Glad you did this interview. I didn't understand the exact reason for all the controversy around her school.

[@patriciaduffy3501]

Katherine is an inspirational teacher, if only she was looking after the Education in this country.

[@ptatpc7925]

Amazing woman. Amazing achievements every day. It would be great if Labour could get behind her instead of building hurdles and spreading poison. Instead of hammering Private Schools they should be trying to replicate this public education model of education across the country, but alas, they see achievement as elitist. Keep going Katherine!!!!!!

[@lovedaybebe5881]

Interesting to hear this , after Elon’s discussion regarding being taken to court for not employing asylum seekers! Bonkers world we live in !

[@name-vi6fs]

"Asylum seekers."

[@DavidThomasFromChile]

Katharine , I have been following you for a while now and I had to write, I happen to agree with you on so many issues, The woe is me victim is the bane of my life, I used the cards that were dealt me and made a success out of life, I am teaching English in Santiago Chile and I learnt Spanish alone. Proud moment. Gracias Katharine.

[@a.jlondon9039]

Such a thoughtful and intelligent discourse and exchange of ideas.

[@Abuamina001]

Mz. Birbalsingh is the best thing to come out of Auckland in decades.

[@NewHerseyAccent]

Woke is the new "you are created sick and commanded to be well"

[@agingerbeard]

Exactly, born in sin according to them

[@chrisjackson8151]

💯

[@marcfitzhenry7581]

Wow, what a wonderful sharing of ideas. Good job to this lady and the host!!!

[@rozannaedwro934]

Wow that was a brilliant discussion. Thanks love from 🇨🇦

[@panzer00]

She is a beacon of truth.

[@simonclare-fu7sx]

a decent smart sensible woman, we need more like her without a doubt, I wish she was running the country

[@ellev11]

Wonderful seeing her on your show!

[@skepto-o-punk8286]

I just LOVE that amazing woman! Smart + NO BS = awesomeness!

[@denisemansell5871]

Thank God the Judge saw sense and did not set a wrong precedent in Law

[@tonychorley4936]

However, the mother has another daughter who will be starting at this school in September. This first case cost a fortune in legal aid, and the mother says she will be bringing another case on behalf of this daughter.

[@dale9724]

❤ this woman. Courage and integrity.

[@johnfrancis4401]

I would love to have had this woman as my head teacher. My head teacher was hands off overly tolerant of misbehaviour and unsupportive of teachers trying to cope with disruptive students. Essentially my head teacher washed her hands of responsibility for behaviour leaving everything to the teacher. It made life very difficult and stressful knowing you were on your own and the management was not on your side.

[@johnburnett3942]

Remember even in Africa, China or India. There was a non white, who was a chief saultan, or mararaga. Or leader who had a great life.

[@richardlbowles]

Ah, the voice of common sense. How can we persuade the apathetic majority out there of the validity of fighting for this point of view?

[@davidgardiner4720]

Never common, seldom sense!

[@richardlbowles]

@@davidgardiner4720 That is very true, David. There's nothing so rare as "common" sense.

[@dibs8462]

this woman needs to be in charge of all schools

[@LorienHamilton]

What a breath of fresh air !

[@TheGrayfrog100]

I used to be a cover supervisor, I wish I had worked at her school. it sounds fantastic.

[@buildingbridges4806]

She is right on! Just live your life and don’t teach kids the system is against them.

[@andrewbennett7756]

This woman is fantastic

[@MathildaMann]

We need more teachers like this.

[@wolfmon9]

I admire this lady so much talks so much common sense doesn't let religion colour or race colour her thinking.

[@Grzegorz-i7g]

She is smart and uses common sense well.

[@markstephens5118]

I love this woman in a purely platonic way . Every time i hear he talk, i get a surge of hope that doesn't come naturally to me.

[@philribbins]

Just one comment re Dubai, I have lived there for the last 3 years and married a British teacher who left the UK to be there. I would say the vast majority of teachers there have left the UK because they are not Woke and they are sick of Heads and the DoE being Woke, undermining them and generally failing children.

[@sticksman1979]

I want my kids in her school. I don’t even have kids.

[@georger6624]

This teacher is a very smart individual. She seems like she has a high IQ understanding facts and on top of that common sense. How do you have common sense in today’s world?

[@caravanlifenz]

Katharine Birbalsingh is a blessing. The students are so lucky to attend that school.

[@lurlenejones456]

Speaking of California, you can imagine how some of us in the US would be dismayed about the idea of a Harris/Newsom presidency.

[@applegrovebard]

In any society, however enlightened it considers itself, there are always taboos and always a group you're allowed to kick. How free we are, we think, we've got rid of the old taboo- while a new unrecognized taboo takes it's place. How enlightened we are, we think, we don't kick the people we used to, not noticing the new group we are allowed to kick.

[@jasonlloydbixby531]

This woman speaks the truth. Love her.

[@dellnichols4625]

Forgive for your own sake. Exactly.

[@agnesberes4084]

She's absolutely amazing

[@MathildaMann]

What a wonderful, intelligent lady. Common sense in spades!

[@benjones1717]

This channel is clear containment

[@lengarcia7719]

Wokeness corrupts the mind.

[@Nufarella]

THAT’S why this schools is a success

[@rdrd815]

Best headteacher ever!

[@georger6624]

That’s exactly right. We’re like pack animals. That’s exactly the way it is.

[@dayamitrasaraswati6276]

Love this lady!

[@krisbest6405]

If l went to her school l would have flourished ,instead Cover Heights killed my passion for learning till now lm 70

[@pickleperryemz]

I would love to send my daughter to be taught by Katherine Birbalsingh but I’m not moving to the hell that is London to do it 😢

[@BaShFuLLbOo]

You send you child there she would become a robot with no personality.

[@pickleperryemz]

@BaShFuLLbOo I disagree, discipline and hard work builds character, coddling children makes them weak and unprepared for life’s challenges. You parent your way, I’ll parent mine and we’ll see which wins out.

[@BaShFuLLbOo]

@@pickleperryemz I was like you too very passionate about her ethos and culture! Send your child there and see for yourself!

[@BaShFuLLbOo]

@pickleperryemz yes displine is key, I agree, but bullying takes away confidence. There is a clear difference with displine and bullying! This is what happens here!

[@sisuriffs]

“Those who have done well were white middle class men” is not the same as “White middle class men have done well.” The former is more accurate. This is a brilliant discussion. So glad people are looking into these ideas!

[@michaellord569]

Woke teachers should be banned from all educational passions.

[@clairelariviere3122]

I’m a teacher. Can I please come work for you??? I love your philosophy around how to best serve children!

[@vincentdunne5129]

We need people like her in government. Never get bored listening to her.

[@ReckluseMusic]

I love her out look. The world would be awesome if everyone was as open as these two.

[@robertomoscoso8942]

It's incredible to see how meaningless life can be for others. I mean, I personally don't care about other people's lives and goings on, but to get to the point to physically harm someone I am not familiar with, nor know??? It just shows how everything around these people has failed them.

[@nived8476]

She's so awesome! She clearly is a teacher who cares so, so, so much about her pupils. I wish we had more teachers this passionate about setting children up for success

[@jacthetripper5171]

This woman deserves an novel peace! Inspiring

[@BaShFuLLbOo]

For turning children mental

[@tatatata2872]

You are truly 1 in a million. Love this lady

[@michaelmacdonell4834]

She isn't talking about wokeness, so much as expressing her need for absolute control.

[@slickstrings]

Its a concious effort of take over.

[@kilamilka97]

This is going to sound mean but Im glad you went through this and spoke out about it This is exactly what i feel is happening around the world today. My family and i experience this quite often about our beliefs. We are not a religious family but conduct ourselves in a way that benefits us and our direct environment. Its viewed with suspicion. What i cant fathom is people say they want a specific thing...like be kind to one another ...but inherently act against that. You explained this in example, perfectly. Respect, to many people, has changed its definition.

[@4my4blessings]

Funny you should say that. I'm a trainee teacher in the UK with a placement in a secular school and at my last mentor meeting, I was informed that I shouldn't use gender based words, and how people of a certain age didn't grow up with this "because we didn't know any better". Um, no. I will not be made to feel evil because something wasn't even a thing. We as a community seem determined to brainwash the young into blaming the past or the people of the past for all the today problems. Instead we should share the stories of people's resilience and honourable behaviours and hold them up as good examples of people taking ownership of their problems and doing something without excuses and blaming. And keep woke crap out of the classroom!

[@ishanloomba788]

Interesting. However, I don’t understand the point being made in the last part about ‘woke’ teachers. How does teaching James Baldwin or W. E. B. Du Bois, or the research of Jennifer Eberhardt or Claude Steele, make students behave worse?? (I list these authors, because their scholarship and insights would like be labeled by the right as ‘woke’.) I don’t understand how teaching about slavery, the Holocaust, and the very strong case being made by researchers in academia (sociologists and historians) about systemic racism, makes students become more disruptive and impolite.

[@ishanloomba788]

*likely be labeled as woke (not ‘like’)

[@fionay2014]

Love this woman

[@catherineventure3996]

In the esperanto movement you will not find racialism. All races and nations, cultures an d trdition and religions are tolerated. Everyone gets on with each other.

Because it's never effected you.

@andrewgold Thank you! Love this clips format

[@ronhall9394]

It's about expectations then people expecting more for those expectations for their own agenda. If - in the briefing you are told X - then don't expect Y. As a kid in the 70's I went to a Catholic Grammar School - passed the 11+ and I was Catholic - so that's where I got sent, 11 years old and having to get two buses - took about an hour, that's what used to happen in the day. I then went to the introduction 'thing' that the School had as my eldest son was going (I now lived in the catchment area) it was a High School by then but still adhered to strict rules. In that presentation the Headmaster (a civilian - my lot where Canons and the Very Reverend) stressed and stressed again that this was a CATHOLIC High School. As a bored parent thinking why I'm here, bloody hell it's only School, then I did admit I thought - Catholic School - duhhh yeah? then I noticed there were a lot of people who where obviously not the Catholic types, from their complexion and dress (unless they had flew in from Goa) but were there for the good education that this particular school would ensure the pupils got - whether they liked it or not. Looking back I think the stress on the subset (sub sect) of Christianity was there for a purpose - don't mess with the values, you are going to get that which is painted on the outside of the tin. That was a good school, it taught you how to think - which for organised religions is not a good thing, I might believe in a higher being but I'm damn sure They didn't write out the Catechism or the other rotes of the various Abrahamic religions, so in a way the school failed to indoctrinate me, but I'm sure they didn't give a damn, just pleased to teach me how to question things. Payer time was never an issue - although when I was there we had to go to Benediction once a week - but that meant finishing at 15:00 instead of 16:30, I don't think my lads had that.

[@bristolfashion4421]

[@captainnima]

I hope she moves to the US and become secretary of education here and cleans up the trans and woke mess.

[@Vision.Target.Shoot1]

I went college briefly and it was like the teachers were preaching racism, social injustice, cultural appropriation.

This was way back in 2007 times

Does this headteacher know what labelling theory is, what stereotyping is. Woke? A very scientific term!!

I agree but isn’t that actually a form of discrimination?

History should be taught warts and all. You should teach the bad as well as the good parts of your history, not like the Japanese who only mention the good parts.

[@jalconque]

Not just WHITE middle class men....it's people of privilege. We seem to conveniently forget that in predominantly black, Indian, Chinese etc society those with privilege take advantage and suppress those without. You think that in black African countries everyone is sitting round the campfire singing kumbayah? It's just that in multicultural societies, those of privilege are more often them not white. Framing the argument in terms of just race instead of economics and privilege misses the point because people with advantage will ALWAYS treat the lesser fortunate poorly

[@deal2live]

So, white working class, and minorities should be treated similarly because they are oppressed? Or policy should treat the poor?

[@anaglyphx]

She's pretty woke herself...didn't she rant about whites being the cause of rap music and all it's problems?
