I was browsing the Guardian in my lunch break today while listening to vintage Queen Latifah, and two stories caught my attention. I don’t have a lot of time today, so I’ll keep it short, but here they are:
This article reports on a new study that highlights institutionalized racism in British schools. It turns out that teachers routinely under-estimate black pupils, letting assumptions about behavioural issues overshadow academic talent. Quelle surprise.
This article talks about another recent study, revealing that gender equality in the UK workplace is actually getting worse.
Back to work now.
