MP’S HAVE expressed alarm at research showing almost all Black children have experienced racism in school, and almost half say it is the most significant barrier to their exam success.
The YMCA research was highlighted at a parliamentary debate, which follows a spate of alleged racist bullying incidents at several schools in recent weeks, including in Ashford, Surrey, and a Kent secondary school.
Janet Daby, Labour MP for Lewisham East, called for better data collection on racism, and SNP and DUP MP’s joined the call for the government to act.
But education minister Nick Gibb refused to force schools to record and report racist bullying incidents, insisting that headteachers already had enough guidance and were regulated by Ofsted.
Tory backbencher Dr Kieran Mullan was criticised for “chuntering” at the Westminster Hall debate as opposition MPs spoke about racism in schools.
Latest government figures show that 7,403 pupils were excluded for racist incidents over the last year, a 50 percent increase from the previous year.
Ms Daby said: “Racism has a huge emotional impact in situations where [Black children] are being discriminated against, and it affects them psychologically and can affect their ability to learn.”
The Department for Education figures for England found that teachers and support staff also experienced racism from children as young as four years old.
A YMCA report in 2020 found that 95 percent of Black people reported they have heard and witnessed the use of racist language at school, and 49 percent said racism was the biggest barrier to attaining success in school.
Responding to the debate, the education minister said: “Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility, and it is something everyone should be aware of.
“We remain committed to ensuring teachers have the tools and responsibilities to carry out their duties.”
He said the government had no intention of mandating schools to record and publish data of racist incidents, and claimed previous Whitehall guidance gave teachers all the advice they needed on the issue.

His Majesty’s Education Minister, the Rt Hon Nick Gibb, is perfectly right and correct to reject the Rt Hon Janet Daby, Labour MP for Lewisham East, appeal for schools to collect specific data on racism.
The African-Caribbean heritage Ms Janet Daby MP’s request was foolishly supported by the SNP and DUP MP’s; who are clearly being used to advance the iniquitous creed of the Marxist inspired Far-Left.
The largest source of racism against His Majesty’s African-heritage junior and secondary school pupils, comes from Labour and the Far-Left Local Authorities; especially in London and other English Cities, who pride themselves on being Politically Correct, “anti-racist,” and even Woke.
If this African-heritage MP for Lewisham East, genuinely cared about African-heritage pupils education, why no direct action to re-create African, and African-Caribbean Saturday Schools: and help with creating a love for education and learning amongst London’s increasingly delinquent and marginalised African-heritage pupils?
Why no call from MP Daby, and her SNP and DUP backers, for Ofsted to stop pushing age-inappropriate Stonewall approved sexual creed, on Asian, African, and Caribbean heritage pupils; whose native culture rejects such sexual practices?
Asian, African, and Caribbean-heritage pupils are being subjected to a minority Caucasian-sexual creed supported by the Treasury funded homosexual Lobby Stonewall.
When the pupil’s parents complain, and object, some non-Caucasian-heritage parents have been informed that Social Services will mark the parents as being “homophobic.”
This allegation against the parents of being “homophobic” could result in Social Worker using their authority to kidnap their children; and place their children for adoption.
This is not an outlandish example.
Non-Caucasian-heritage parents have endured the horror of trying to protect their children from age-inappropriate carnal knowledge; only to experience being threatened with losing their non-Caucasian children to the care of the Social Services Departments.
This Race imperialism from Labour and the Far-Left, is no different from colonial times.
A minority of Far-Left Caucasian activists have secured so much Governmental and Parliamentary power, they are able to trust their anti-English Chritian Society creed upon all English educated pupils: even ignoring, and disparaging the cultural belief, and wishes of the non-Caucasian parents.
England’s Primary and Secondary School teachers need to prioritise instilling in their pupils a love of reading; writing and arithmetic; and encouraging the highest Christian Ethics in all pupils, as the Christian Creed will benefit, and protect all in English society.
Wow. This is probably the most prejudiced, garbled word salad I’ve ever read. If incidents aren’t recorded then it’s easy to claim racism it isn’t an issue. ‘African creed’ is a very odd way to describe someone.
‘This allegation against the parents of being “homophobic” could result in Social Worker using their authority to kidnap their children; and place their children for adoption.’ What the hell is this?
Why anyone is surprised at this. This is a Government which panders to racists and the far right. This is government that Denys Racism exists
A fact since the so called Race Report commissioned by the Government has given a green light to the far right
