The reaction of some of my colleagues to this is worrying, they approve a whole range of measures that make school into prison. Essentially backing Williamson on all of this nonsense.

Condolences
This has come from teachers who cannot control the kids because there's no clear behaviour policy. The head blames everything on poor teaching and so people are desperate.
The schools being mentioned are ones where it's forbidden to talk in the corridor and this kind of controlling nonsense. All that does is suppress things and not solve them.
To avoid conflict I've ignored the posts.

Williamson is exactly the kind of pettifogging gauleiter lickspittle who'd be an Academy "CEO" in another universe - someone perfectly placed to advance up the greasy pole of these awful institutions as they consider helping their bosses achieve their 'corporate goals' an eminently good thing, and if in the assisting them to do this, they get to exercise power over other humans, then more's the better.

Why don't they go the whole hog and make the motto "viribus per gaudium" or something?

Knowing schools and academy chains in particular they'll do this to off roll students who would bring their results down. And they'll get away with it.

Our previous head gave herself a huge payrise, went to working four days a week, then left after placing us in another academy Trust. All in the space of a few years. I've heard she got a huge redundancy package as well as a pension.
These people are scum and shouldn't be anywhere near education. They are on the make, that's it.

Not a heck of a lot, it appears (though I am certain that some of their collection was once owned by slaveholders)
The British Library completely refutes the misleading and baseless coverage that has appeared in today’s Sunday Telegraph in relation to labelling in our Treasures Gallery. It is inaccurate, and its repeated use of the conditional tense illustrates the extent to which the whole story is speculation, and wilfully misrepresents the thoughtful, responsible and serious work of our curatorial teams.
The Library wishes to tell the story of the items in our care but we do not currently include any information on provenance in our Treasures exhibit labels; it is unclear to visitors when works were acquired and in what context. We are therefore developing plans to provide this useful and interesting information for visitors across all areas of our collection. This is not a “re-labelling” exercise, as reported, but simply the addition of a brief, factual line about acquisition and provenance at the end of each label which explains when and where the item was acquired for the national collection.
This will allow us to tell a clearer history of how works were acquired, and will contribute to a Library-wide methodology for interpreting our collections. It will also allow us to more clearly foreground generous donations that the Library has received.
The Sunday Telegraph story (25 April, 2021) misrepresents this work as being undertaken with a view to highlighting links with slavery and colonialism, which is wholly untrue, and quotes selectively from internal documents to convey this impression. The article also speculates on how this might apply to a Chaucer manuscript – speculation which, along with all other specific ‘examples’ cited in the piece, is entirely baseless.
The Library has a responsibility to ensure that we interpret items in our care in an accurate, balanced, consistent and engaging manner, in accordance with curatorial best practice. This vital work will continue, and we look forward to welcoming visitors back to our Treasures Gallery when it reopens on 17 May.
