Rights But No Responsibilities
British Values Classes Considered
What sort of British values will be taught? Tolerance of intolerance? The right to legal aid? Welfare dependency? The right not to be offended?
Instead of teaching meaningless generalisations, we should be actively teaching British history in its broadest sense. But why should we expect immigrants to integrate into our society when we actively denegrate and dismiss our own history? Without a shared history a cohesive society is unobtainable. The ineluctable result is the further balkanisation of Great Britain.
