Woke lefty insanity writ large. What are they on about?
Yes, we know the country was racist at one time, everything was frequented, created and otherwise utilised by racists. What next, cancel the fields of Wales because they were once used by racists?
No wonder things are in such a state in Wales, nevermind all the potholes people complain about - Welsh Labour need to fix racism in building structures. No wonder the country is knackered with the devolved Lab admin doing everything in its power to not do anything useful
Librarians have been told to avoid holding meetings in 'racist' buildings as part of a crackdown on Colonialism.
The directions, put in place by decolonisation experts, appear in training guidelines for librarians in Wales.
The librarians have now been tasked with becoming “anti-racist” as part of the initiative, aligning with the devolved Labour government’s pledge to “eradicate” systemic racism by 2030.
The guidelines form part of the core "decolonialism" training for local librarians in a project costing a staggering £130,000.
The measures form part of “critical whiteness studies”, with librarians instructed to deal with issues, including what it describes as the “dominant paradigm of whiteness”.
Created by the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (Cilip) in Wales, the document explains that librarians should check training for “harmful” content - notably links to colonialism.
It follows a 2021 report set out by the Welsh government entitled 'The Slave Trade and the British Empire: An Audit of Commemoration in Wales' which outlined problematic locations for anti-racism trainers.

The guidelines cover a host of establishments - from pubs to schools to cafes - warning librarians not to hold meetings against historically racist backdrops.
