Charity tells schoolchildren to list all the positive aspects of migration - The Telegraph

Children as young as seven are being taught that migration is a “positive” force in Britain by a charity whose funding was cancelled by a Reform council.

Show Racism the Red Card (SRTRC), which describes itself as the UK’s “leading anti-racism charity”, provides lesson plans in which pupils are required to list all the benefits of migration without any counter-arguments to provide balance.

Children are given negative headlines such as “how many more migrants can we take” and told they must rewrite them and highlight the positive aspects of migration, such as “migrant workers bring fresh hope to British economy”.

They are told that women and children make up 80 per cent of refugees worldwide, while failing to mention the fact that adult men make up three-quarters of small boat migrants arriving in Britain.

The disclosures come after Sunderland city council’s Reform UK leadership ended its 30-year support for the charity. Christopher Eynon, the council leader, said it would no longer back “politically charged organisations with an agenda”.

Bridget Phillipson, the chairman of the Labour Party, who is also the women and equalities minister, described it as “misguided, cruel and in no way backed by the people of Sunderland”.

But Nigel Farage, the Reform UK leader, defended the move, saying: “As ever an innocuous sounding organisation has a hard- Left agenda.”
