‘Woke ideology’ faces unprecedented court test in 2023

Amy Gallagher

A Christian nurse who has described being forced to accept Critical Race Theory by an NHS trust if she wants to continue her psychotherapy course is suing for racial and religious discrimination. The case is expected to be the first time so-called ‘woke ideology’ is tested in the courts.

Amy Gallagher, a 33-year-old mental health nurse, was studying forensic psychology at Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust – the trust that was forced to shut its controversial gender identify clinic in July last year after a report concluded it was unsafe for children.

Gallagher filed a complaint with the trust after being made to attend an online lecture on ‘whiteness – a problem for our time’ – which she said was essentially critical race theory for an hour. She said the speaker, Dr Anne Aiyegbusi, used racists phrases such as ‘white ignorance’ and was negative about Christianity (but no other religions were mentioned).
