As Francis says of the system's impact: "He died like a fish." In this video, we cover: - The forbidden list: What teachers aren't allowed to say in the UK. - The Batley Grammar School case and why that teacher is still in hiding. - Why the British education system is failing both teachers and students. - The "gaslighting" of the UK public regarding race and identity. - Francis’s personal journey from the classroom to co-founding Triggernometry. - Support the Heretics mission: If you believe in open conversation and pushing back against the "crazies," please subscribe and hit the bell icon. #Heretics #FrancisFoster #Triggernometry #BritishEducation #FreeSpeech #AndrewGold Join the 30k heretics on my mailing list: https://andrewgoldheretics.com Check out my new documentary channel: https://youtube.com/@andrewgoldinvestigates Andrew on X: https://twitter.com/andrewgold_ok Insta: https://www.instagram.com/andrewgold_ok Heretics YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@andrewgoldheretics Chapters: 00:00 Francis Foster: From the classroom to Triggernometry 02:18 Why the British education system is failing 06:00 The Batley Grammar School scandal: A teacher in hiding 08:44 Are we giving up on free speech? 11:54 The return of Blasphemy Laws in the UK 13:49 Synagogues attacked: The silence is terrifying 15:53 Why the average person is being gaslit 19:48 Jewish comedians banned at Edinburgh Fringe 24:32 The responsibility of a 2M+ subscriber platform 27:10 Are we the new "mainstream"? 31:30 Hijacking identities: The truth about "The Crazies" 34:57 How publishers tried to bury my book 41:40 The "Liberal Arts" fear: Why writers are terrified 45:26 Biological Reality: What’s happening in US schools? 49:56 8 years with Konstantin Kisin on Triggernometry 53:36 The lonely reality of being a solo creator 56:22 Nickelback, Beckham, and the psychology of hate 1:00:00 Teaching the British Empire: What the syllabus hides 1:03:10 Why we don't teach the horrors of Communism 1:05:07 Witnessing the fall of Venezuela: A warning for the West Learn more about your ad choices.
