Overall: A very promising article and an interesting hook. One question relating to the 'Response' section and how much weight should be given to an individual's view. Richard Nevell (talk) 21:59, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate the pointer on the neutrality front (I'm new to editing about current, controversial topics!), so I'll have a good reread of WP:NPOV and see what changes I can make. Have a great day! HenryTemplo (talk) 14:34, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's a tricky one and you've done a good job with the article. The response section was going to be the hardest bit because whose views to include is a judgement call. The Telegraph notes that Gullis is a former teacher, and adding his background may be enough context. But having a comment from a backbencher does invite the question: what do his more senior colleagues think? Richard Nevell (talk) 18:48, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've done a quick look, I can't seem to find any ministerial response for the protests (Searched the Gov. Website for Press Releases, search for "2023 pupil protests minster"; all I could find was Nick Gibb, Minister for Schools, responding to a separate incident earlier in the month involving the Quran), so I've just added additional context for Gullis's response.
