This week’s Philosophy Unleashed (the last before the Easter break) looks at the institutionally racist, misogynistic, and homophobic London Met police force and calls out their commissioner, Mark Rowley, for refusing to use the word “institutional”. It also looks at institutional prejudices baked into schools. https://www.philosophyunleashed.com/theblog/151-institutionally-afraid-on-the-importance-of-acknowledging-institutional-prejudice
