During an activity I'd devised for BHM with my year 8 students several
members of the class responded by saying that their RE teacher (the
head of RE) had told them that Malcolm X was racist and therefore they
(like the RE teacher) were dismissing his relevance on that basis. I
was stunned but told the class that the RE teacher and I would have to
have a discussion about Malcolm X.
I wonder if he'll have similar views about Gandhi, Martin Luther King
and Nelson Mandela?
Many thanks
