S1 Ep136: Halfon hits back at critics over 'white privilege' saying using the term must be stopped

from The Reaction Podcast · host The Reaction Podcast

Maggie Pagano talks to Robert Halfon, Conservative MP and chair of the Education Select Committee, about why white working class boys and girls from disadvantaged backgrounds are being failed by a neglectful and muddled education policy, underachieving from early years in school through to GCSE, A levels and university entry. Halfon hits back at critics who have accused him of stoking a culture war because of  the report's reference to the spread of 'white privilege' terminology which the committee claims is holding back a generation of white working class pupils.
