Teachers have been told to keep clear from controversial anti-racism theories being taught in schools which claim children as young as five are 'biased in favour of whiteness'.
The government has told teachers across the country that they must not 'promote partisan political views to pupils', stressing that they must 'remain politically impartial' when they deliver lessons on racial justice, according to The Times.
It comes after documents revealed that race theories being taught in British schools have claimed five-year-olds are 'strongly biased in favour of whiteness', with teachers being warned on how to identify racists.
The advice is part of guidance made by the Key, a national information service which boasts a £30million turnover, provides anti-racism resources for more than 13,000 schools and educational trusts across the UK.
Its anti-racism guidelines and training tools are grounded in the controversial critical race theory, which focuses on the idea that racism is entrenched in society and white people are oppressors.
One resource recommended to teachers by The Key to help them talk to their pupils features a pyramid explaining the difference between 'overt' and 'covert' white supremacy.
Separate guidance on dealing with 'white privilege' tells teachers to change the way they speak to white pupils who do not feel privileged.
It says some pupils may become 'defensive' and 'not accept' that they have privilege because of their skin colour. If upset students tell them they are 'gay, poor, female', teachers are told this 'doesn't erase their identity'.
