    Conservative MP Damian Green appeared on GB News to debate a recent report which found language such as “white privilege” was causing “systematic neglect” for white working-class pupils. The Commons Education Select Committee has urged the Department for Education to find better ways for pupils to discuss racial issues without “pitting” students against one another. Damian Green did not hold back in his condemnation of critical race theory being taught in school branding the decision to expose primary school children to it as “wrong”.

    Speaking to GB News, Mr Green said: “You can discuss critical race theory which is the theory that lies behind this which I completely disagree with but you should only do it with older pupils.

    “I’ve read reports that it’s being taught to pupils as young as eight as though it’s a fact.

    “It’s not, it’s a theory. A theory I disagree with.

    “There are other factors in education and I feel you should treat every child as an individual, that seems to me to be the way to maximise the life chances of every child and what education is about is providing opportunity for all and particularly ailing social mobility.

    “You can discuss it with older pupils but teaching it to primary school pupils as though it’s true is wrong.”
