May wants to lift the ban on creating new grammar schools and also allow grammar schools to expand.
Caveat to this, she says, is that the 'new' grammar schools won't be like the old ones coz 'we'll make quotas for poor kids innit'.
So in addition to state education already functioning like a neo-liberal production line, and the rich and privileged already benefiting disproportionately through postcode lotteries and private schools, May and Greening want to return the system to a two-tier system. This is an idea that is not popular uniformly in the Conservative Party, either, btw, which says something.
Really fucking worrying times.
