School accused of ‘brainwashing’ children after 14-year-olds told to read book ‘blaming them for their white skin’

A parent has accused a secondary school of ‘brainwashing’ after he learned 14-year-old students were told to read a book that ‘blames them for their white skin’.

James Farquharson claims students were being fed ‘partisan political views’ after the novel, The Hate U Give, was added to the Year 10 reading list at Budmouth Academy in Weymouth, Dorset.

The 53-year-old said the book was making some students feel guilty about being white and left his daughter ’embarrassed and uncomfortable’ after was told to read it out loud.
