White pupils excluded from extra Saturday literacy lessons

White pupils have been excluded from extra weekend literacy classes at schools in North London, The Telegraph can reveal.

Parents at a primary school in Haringey have been told that schools will fund Saturday school places for children from black and black heritage families to “accelerate progress in reading and writing whilst also developing the children’s knowledge of black history and culture”.

However, no comparable offer was made for white pupils despite parents arguing that evidence shows white working-class boys have fallen behind their peers.

This sort of diseased thinking crops up too often for it to be accidental.
