We asked Minister for Skills Jacqui Smith your questions.
We are committed to having the hard conversations even if the answers sting.
The honesty, transparency and willingness to share views is an important step towards change. Together we can influence the government to take action.

As a former evangelical kid raised on a lean “approved” media diet, I just want to say to every right winger who thinks banning books & forcing “patriotic” curricula will ensure your kids only learn what you want & end up thinking & believing like you
Best of luck with that. And bless your hearts
