White privilege and schools

Available for over a year

This week, parents are voicing concerns about the way the concept of white privilege is being taught in schools. How did the conversation about white privilege go mainstream in the UK? Where did it come from? The BBC's Home Editor Mark Easton shares some data on the experiences of different ethnic groups in Britain. And a teacher grapples with whether you can tell poor pupils that they're actually privileged.
