Comments by "Faithless Hound" (@faithlesshound5621) on "Jonathan Gullis struggles to get a job in teaching" video.
The absolute peak of political interference in the schools came with Sir Keith Joseph, who refused to allow GCSEs to replace 'O' Levels until he had personally reviewed and approved the syllabus of every subject. That extended to cutting down on things like radiation protection in physics, hazards of chemical processes, effects of environmental pollution in biology. History had to embody British values.

His degree from Oxford Brookes U was in International Relations with Law and his PGCE was for secondary education. I can't see how that translates to school subjects. History? He said he modelled his teaching persona on Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg.

@JupiterThunder Nobody remembers that Liz Truss made Gullis the Parliamentary Undersecretary for Standards in Schools, because that job lasted only a few days until he was sacked by Rishi Sunak. A talking point at job interviews perhaps? Unless they get on to his reprimand from the Speaker for Unministerial Conduct in that very post ...

@starmersbarber "Woke" is a recent coinage, renaming "cultural marxism." That was a conspiracy theory devised by the evangelical right of the USA to gather together almost every non-fascist European thinker since Immanuel Kant, including Marx and the Four French Frauds.
