Francis Foster (Triggernometry) reveals the shocking reality of what is actually happening behind closed doors in British classrooms. From teachers forced into hiding to the "trip wires" that make certain topics - like Islam and biological reality - completely forbidden, Francis explains why he finally had to walk away.

In this deep dive, we discuss the brutal consequences of extreme ideology, the rise of blasphemy laws in the UK, and the "haunting" story of a 17-year-old in Venezuela that serves as a warning for the West. 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.
