Yes, you read that correctly, Trevor Phillips, the head of the Commission for ‘Racial Equality’ (in other words the Labour Party’s political correctness chief) has called for black boys to be taught in separate classes, because they need a boost in achievement. Given that the English average for kids getting at least 5 (crap) pass grades at GCSE is 52%, I’d say that everyone needs a boost in achievement. Unfortunately, if you ain’t black, Trev ain’t interested. Teachers’ unions have pointed out that racism is illegal in this country.
“Sir Trevor Phillips” CRE chair is actually Trevor Phillips. The BBC, Daily Mirror and The Herald among others sometimes give him the upgrade.
