I'm probably the only one who watches Unforgotten, from ITV seen in the United States on PBS Masterpiece Mystery. It's now series 6, six
episodes. It uses locations all over the place for its fictional
setting. A cold case homicide squad with seemingly unlimited resources is featured, but they are a framing device to tell the stories of those who
had interacted with the victim and whose actions led to the killing.
One of the suspects is played by Victoria Hamilton who typically plays a woman with some sort of authority, not always entirely ethical. She was
one of the stars of COBRA, series 2 of Deep State, and recurring in
season 3 of His Dark Materials. The actress has got to be the daughter
of Peter Graves, given the shock of premature white hair.
She's a teacher at a girls' school. She got a complaint from a
female student that the books she had assigned were too white and too patriarchal. Incorrectly assuming that the girl was truly interested in
being exposed to other voices from authors writing memoirs who weren't
white men, she gave the girl two books from her own collection to read.
One of them was written by a black woman who had been discriminated
against. She used a certain word in the book title that gets censored to shock (and to get the book purchased).
She's called into her headmaster's office to resolve the complaint filed
from the girl, who was most upset having been exposed to the word
without first having been warned. The girl hadn't read either book.
The headmaster wants her to apologize, and she's willing to say to theWhat is the world coming to when a student will get a teacher into
girl that she's sorry for the upset the girl felt for not having been
warned before being exposed to that word. But the headmaster then
informs her that the union (It's not clear to me what union it is nor
why they are involved) had demnded that she take lessons in remediating micro-aggressions.
She loses it. She's not sure if what she's about to say is a micro or macro-aggression, but the union can go fuck itself.

I apologize for leaving out the punch line. The girl claimed she was traumatized by seeing the word unprepared. The teacher pointed out that
she's white. The headmaster said it made no difference. She said it made
a great deal of difference.

It's being implied that the girl was complaining for the sake of, filed
a complaint to make herself feel powerful, which the headmaster indulged rather than cluing her in on reality.
Fair enough. I'm not sure if the teachers at *all* schools are unionizedIt *has* to be the teachers union. What other union could conceivably be
involved?
I don't know that these schools are unionized; it wasn't a council
school.
Union of forced re-education teachers drumming up business?That would be an honest name so they'd never use that ;-)
You're exactly right. We need to do something different here. We haveShe loses it. She's not sure if what she's about to say is a micro or

They need to throw the bastards out, then write a constitution with American-style liberties as civil rights.
