The SNP has published plans to force Scottish schoolchildren to face the UK s colonial past in Black Lives Matter-inspired history lessons.
Historians and teachers raised concerns that a new programme of “anti-racist education” which Nicola Sturgeon plans to roll out will present pupils with a one-sided, negative and politicised version of Britain’s history.
