Schoolchildren have been encouraged to 'read woke' and study books that claim white people invented racism, it has been revealed.
Titled 'Read Woke', the project has supplied books to primary schools which claim racism was invented by white people.
It is part of a literacy project funded by a Scottish government grant that has been piloted to help 'enlighten' pupils on racial issues.
The programme includes a volume that asserts that it is impossible to be racist against white people, the Sunday Telegraph reported.
Dr Alka Sehgal Cuthbert, founder of the campaign group Don't Divide Us, urged schools to bin the material.
She told the paper: 'This initiative is normalising politically radical and partisan beliefs. It will do nothing to help teachers teach pupils how to read, and has little to do with education more generally.
'Our advice to schools is to either put the books in the recycling bin, or keep them for the next CPD and invite speakers from Read Woke and Don't Divide Us to discuss why this is/is not suitable curriculum content.'
The Read Woke website for South Ayrshire says the initiative 'will awaken our students to a range of important issues, enlighten them, and encourage them to think critically and with empathy when forming opinions'.
