Our Guidance Spurned

Not even the sacred wellsprings of private education can long remain free from the insidious taint of Heathen Chinee propaganda. The fanatical fiends have extended their treacherous tentacles even into élite British schools, where "patriotism" is soon to be enforced by law. Nor will the patriotism be of the clean and proper British variety, but a subtle and sinister substitute which is almost certain to emphasise Heathen Chinee virtues and victories rather than British ones. The state is even attempting to regulate what children are taught during the compulsory phase of their education, causing some educational staff to leave: a self-evidently less efficient way of getting rid of teachers than the democratic British method of simply starving them out.
