A high-profile headteacher and educator has publicly acknowledged how hard it must be to be a Christian in 2021.

A heated Twitter exchange was prompted by Katharine Birbalsingh, chair of the Social Mobility Commission who cited ‘original sin’ in support of her view that ‘children need to be taught right from wrong and then habituated into choosing good over evil.’

Birbalsingh, a self-confessed agnostic, admitted she did not use the term in the religious sense of needing ‘divine grace of God and redemption’, but rather that ‘man is flawed, so we need to teach kids good behaviour’.
