Dylan Wray speaks to Lester Kiewit about why he felt the need to apologise to the students of colour he taught several years ago.
As schools across the country are forced to deal with accusations of systemic racism a former Wynberg Girls' High history teacher has written an open letter of apology to his former students.
In the letter published in the Daily Maverick, Dylan Wray, who also taught at Westerford High School in Newlands, says he is sorry for having been 'colour blind'.
He admits that it was easier to say he did not see colour rather than face the truth about the unconscious biases he held that 'probably impacted on my teaching.'
