"I'm anticipating a teachers' strike very quickly after winning the next general election, he said during a question and answer session at the event last month. They are poisoning our kids. They are telling them to be ashamed of their country. They are telling little Johnny, who's eight, who is black, that he is a victim and little Oliver, who is white, who is eight, that he is an oppressor. They are dividing us, not uniting us. They are feeding this negative culture in."
"Farage has made his political career out of dog-whistle politics and now, like Trump, he is lining up teachers and their unions for a fight, Kebede said. I think that's grossly irresponsible. I don't and nor does my union, and nor does the teaching profession push critical race theory as he's suggesting Should he become prime minister he would sell out our public services, including education and he would be a disaster for education and children."
Nigel Farage predicted teachers would strike within weeks of a Reform UK election victory and accused the education system of promoting a divisive narrative that brands black children as victims and white children as oppressors. He claimed the Marxist left controls schools and said teachers are poisoning children and teaching shame of country. National Education Union general secretary Daniel Kebede rejected the Marxist-control claim as nonsense, said strikes relate to terms and conditions, and called the accusations irresponsible. Kebede warned that a Reform government would sell out public services, including education, and be a disaster for children.
