@edujdw @antiacademies Since when did the Daily Fail need evidence😂

[DefendSchHistory @defschhist]

This looks like the opening of a new front in the cultural wars. It is typical Daily Fail stupidity

[DefendSchHistory @defschhist]

But we will need to keep an eye on this- interested to hear from colleagues about their thoughts on a ‘model history curriculum’ https://t.co/X5rerDI1NB

It's almost time for our #TeachingHistory webinar. One thing we'll be discussing is #multiperspectivity, why it's so important in the history classroom and what its challenges are.

What do you think @EuroClio @HTENUK @defschhist @ParaHistories? #historyteachers

[David Olusoga @DavidOlusoga]

Government must commit to memorial naming the ‘Unremembered’ heroes of World War I.

Says the newspaper that recently published this.

@defschhist Absolutely! And optional questions (as in choose Q1 or Q2) like they have offered up in additional materials this year.

We need decisions now about GCSE History 2022. There can be no return to 4 topics - do you agree? https://t.co/Mfy44jNMIw

I wrote about the Commonwealth War Graves Commissions' historic racism in this book - written in 2013, quoting the research of @michelevbarrett. If historians knew about it then, why it is only now that the CWGC is admitting to it?

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

The government has apologised after an inquiry found "pervasive racism" led to a failure to commemorate Black and Asian troops who died in WW1.

The inquiry was launched following a Channel 4 documentary presented by David Lammy.

The Labour MP called it a “watershed moment”.

[Primary History Matters @HistoryPrimary]

Busy researching how to make the primary history curriculum more diverse through embedding the stories of people with a disability. I would love to hear from any of you that have done any work in this area with your curriculum. Please send me a DM.#primaryhistory #Diversity

[Daniel Kebede @DanielKebedeNEU]

Always remembered.

[DefendSchHistory @defschhist]

It would be great if every history teacher would show this clip.

[David Olusoga @DavidOlusoga]

This is the opening of the documentary that was the catalyst for today's report and apology.

Presented by @DavidLammy based on the pioneering research of @michelevbarrett

Lenin spoke English with an Irish accent - loving that

Let’s work together to decolonise the history curriculum #WorldAgainstRacism

There are absolutely massive protests going on in India against the far-right Modi government and its new fascistic laws that strip Muslims of citizenship

But the Western corporate media is too fixated on covering Hong Kong nonstop to care
