A state that will not even record the racism black and Muslim children face, while inflating antisemitism to police Palestinian solidarity, is not fighting racism in schools. It is practising it. And it must be challenged!
Algeria provides a stark example of settler colonialism and violent resistance. Whereas the United States was born of a struggle between the settlers themselves for self determination and the right to development based on the continued extermination of the indigenes and the exploitation of slavery, Algeria was born of the struggle of the indigenes against the settlers.
The French presidential election campaign for May 2027 is underway. Hundreds of thousands of school students have taken centre-stage in opposition to Macron’s austerity.
The government has reacted with huge repression: the worst in many decades; worse than May 68.
These teenagers not only experienced police violence, but also many were subjected to racist insults by police officers.
Saudi Arabia has stepped up its attack on Yemen. UK Prime Minister Burnham has agreed to assist the Saudi air force, with air-to-air refuelling, as it bombs Yemen.
The UK should instead end its complicity in the oppression of the Yemeni people.
