From today’s Guardian:
The schools secretary, Ed Balls, is seeking a new legal power to dictate the basic content of every public exam in England, in a move that would give him or any future secretary of state the right to decide which books children must study at GCSE or A-level.
Um, what was it we used to say about Russia and China when I was a kid?
At least they were trying to impart some sort of ideology. It’s hard to imagine what sort of ideology Mr Balls has–presumably it’s just a case of power for power’s sake.
