Dr Julian Lewis: Last Friday was the 36th anniversary of the rebel amendment in the House of Lords proposed by Lady Cox, which banned the indoctrination of schoolchildren with partisan political views. Does the Secretary of State accept that the concept of anti-nuclear education, and of anti-imperialist education, which led to that ban, are to be compared with the concepts of vicious identity politics and of the decolonisation of subjects, which rightly fall foul of the legislation he cited [Political impartiality in schools (Guidance)]?

[The Secretary of State for Education (Nadhim Zahawi): My right hon. Friend raises a very powerful point, and he is quite right: children should be taught how to think, not what to think.]
