One in five teenagers in the UK do not express their political views for fear of being “cancelled”. A new survey from the Economist Educational Foundation found that 22% of 15–17-year-olds have stopped themselves from sharing their political views for fear of criticism. Among 10–14-year-olds, the figure is 20%. More concerning still, one in four of the 4,000 students surveyed said they had been told to stop voicing their political opinions at school. The survey also revealed that 44% of 15–17-year-olds would not feel ready to vote in the next election. This is staggering. As the Government pushes ahead with plans to lower the voting age to 16 — enfranchising 9.5 million more people — teenagers should be encouraged to express their views and concerns in an open, safe forum, especially in schools. Nobody should have to self-censor their opinions and beliefs for fear of being ‘cancelled’ — no matter their age. Read more below 👇
