We have come a long way since white chalk exercised the privilege of writing on blackboards. 

I am pleased to report that our children are growing up with coloured pens scratching Greta-approved sermons onto digital whiteboards, which are then automatically uploaded to a Silicon Valley fact-checker. 

It might not sound like a proper revolution, but these things matter. 

By not having a white marker pen in the box, schools are ensuring that the next generation of children never have to see white-words in print.
