The ‘woke’ agenda includes the teaching of race relations and its ‘controversial and divisive’ ideology.

School inspectors Ofsted have been sent to the American School in London after receiving complaints from parents of students there about topics on the teaching curriculum.

The ‘woke’ agenda includes the teaching of race relations and its ‘controversial and divisive’ ideology.


Parents also commented that subjects were being taught “through a prism of race or gender” including ideas of white and male privilege.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, one parent said “The Ofsted investigation has been welcomed by parents who are deeply concerned about the school’s ‘Diversity, Equality and Inclusion’ programme, which many regard as teaching racial hatred and division.”

It comes as Christie Elan-Cane, who has campaigned for more than 25 years to achieve legal and social recognition for non-gendered identity, brought a case to the UK’s highest court in the latest round of a legal battle for “X” passports.

Challenging the policy administered by Her Majesty’s Passport Office (HMPO), the campaigner argued that the UK’s passport application process, which requires individuals to indicate whether they are male or female, breaches human rights laws.

However in a judgment on Wednesday, the Supreme Court unanimously dismissed the appeal.

Giving the ruling, Lord Reed said: “The form is concerned with the applicants’ gender as a biographical detail which can be used to confirm their identity by checking it against the birth, adoption or gender recognition certificates provided and other official records.

“It is therefore the gender recognised for legal purposes and recorded in those documents which is relevant.”

Elan-Cane said that the case would now be taken to the European Court of Human Rights following Wednesday’s judgment, adding that the “UK is on the wrong side of history”.
