Toby Young citations

Toby Daniel Moorsom Young est un journaliste britannique qui est aussi le directeur du New Schools Network, un réseau d'écoles gratuites et caritatives.

Young a rédigé une chronique de sa vie professionnelle alors qu'il travaillait à New York au magazine magazine Vanity Fair et comme chroniqueur pour le magazine The Spectator. Le titre de ce livre, How to Lose Friends & Alienate People, semble un guide sur la façon de perdre des amis et s'aliéner les gens. Young a servi comme juge pendant les saisons cinq et six de la série Top Chef. Il a fondé la West London Free School. Au début janvier 2018, il est proposé pour occuper le poste de directeur par intérim du conseil d'école de l'Office for Students . Il renonce à cette charge lorsque sont mis à jour ses commentaires offensants qu'il a publiés sur Twitter.

Toby Young: Citations en anglais

“It was as if all the meritocratic fantasies of every 1960s educationalist had come true and all Harold Wilson’s children had been let in at the gate … Small, vaguely deformed undergraduates would scuttle across the quad as if carrying mobile homes on their backs. Replete with acne and anoraks, they would peer up through thick pebble-glasses, pausing only to blow their noses.”

The Oxford Myth (1988)
Source: Toby Young quotes on breasts, eugenics and working-class people, Belam, Martin, 2018-01-03, The Guardian, 2018-01-03, en-GB, 0261-3077 http://www.theguardian.com/media/2018/jan/03/toby-young-quotes-on-breasts-eugenics-and-working-class-people,

“Inclusive. It’s one of those ghastly, politically correct words that have survived the demise of New Labour. Schools have got to be ‘inclusive’ these days. That means wheelchair ramps, the complete works of Alice Walker in the school library (though no Mark Twain) and a Special Educational Needs Department that can cope with everything from dyslexia to Münchausen syndrome by proxy. If [then education secretary, Michael] Gove is serious about wanting to bring back O-levels, the government will have to repeal the Equalities Act because any exam that isn’t ‘accessible’ to a functionally illiterate troglodyte with a mental age of six will be judged to be ‘elitist’ and therefore forbidden by Harman’s Law.”

Spectator magazine (2012)

“My proposal is this: once this technology [genetically engineered intelligence] becomes available, why not offer it free of charge to parents on low incomes with below-average IQs? Provided there is sufficient take-up, it could help to address the problem of flat-lining inter-generational social mobility and serve as a counterweight to the tendency for the meritocratic elite to become a hereditary elite. It might make all the difference when it comes to the long-term sustainability of advanced meritocratic societies.”

“Socialism always begins with a universal vision for the brotherhood of man and ends with people having to eat their own pets.”
