Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I think there needs to be a certain level of trust with the teachers to cover the discrimination of the book in a respectful way. It's very much the same thing with parents, where simply not allowing access to inappropriate material isn't going to stop their children from finding that material and coming to the wrong conclusion.

There needs to be an understanding in children to know what the world once believed and why that believe is antiquated. If teachers and parents aren't going to teach them then where are they going to get that context from?
