The tearing down of statues, renaming of streets, and the changing of school curricula without “a rigorous and non-partisan approach” is increasingly altering British history, broadcaster Trevor Phillips warns this morning.
A paper written by Phillips and released by the Policy Exchange think tank today claimed there was a “growing trend to alter public history and heritage without due process”.
It argues that decision-makers should not give in pressure groups and activists too much of a say, instead arguing institutions “must pay due regard to the views and sentiments of those who support the institutions, including donors, members, volunteers and taxpayers” and alumni in the case of schools and universities.
