It’s even more important now that we stand firm against racism, misogyny, transphobia.

1. Teach children about the rights of fellow human beings
2. Teach children to discern truth
3. Believe people when they say they have experienced prejudice
4. Commit to global action on climate change

"Good schools are joyous & purposeful places where people enjoy being together, connect with the real world & experience memorable & funny events, happiness & sadness. They help pupils to think for themselves & act for others." Love this. @stevemunby.bsky.social, David Cameron & Mick Waters.
