Scotland : SNP provoke fury after warning teachers not to use the phrase 'British values' because the term could be "offensive" - and even lead to mus
The SNP (Scottish National Party) have provoked fury for warning teachers not to use the phrase "British values".
Guidance on discussing sensitive issues such as terrorism in class claims the term can be "offensive" - and even lead to pupils being radicalised.
Advice issued by Education Scotland tells teachers to instead use the words "shared values".
An edict entitled Problematic Language also urges teachers not to say the likes of "war on terror", "Islamist extremist/terrorist", "jihad/jihadist" or "radical" in current affairs lessons.
Tory education spokeswoman Liz Smith said: "Parents will be astonished and very angry. British values are part of our history and are important to this country's culture."
Ben Wallace, a former MSP, accused Education Scotland of putting political correctness before the safety of children : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5592789/Dont-use-offensive-phrase-British-values-discussing-terrorism-teachers-told.html
