EXCLUSIVE Schoolchildren 'brainwashed by left-wing BBC': Demand for inquiry as education website used by millions encourages pupils to back contentious open borders and Net Zero policies By MARK HOOKHAM, ASSISTANT EDITOR (INVESTIGATIONS) October 2026 The BBC was accused of 'brainwashing' children after a Mail on Sunday investigation revealed its education website is pushing 'extreme' Left-wing views on migration, Net Zero and inequality to millions of pupils. BBC Bitesize – which is promoted by almost every UK state school – encourages children to play an online game called Increasing Immigration, in which they are rewarded for choosing 'open borders' and granting an amnesty to illegal migrants. The website also suggests that those who voice concerns that migrants will take jobs from local people are 'prejudiced' and makes a string of claims about the economic benefits of migration. Pupils are encouraged to campaign for controversial Net Zero policies and join human rights groups such as Amnesty International – while the website praises the divisive Black Lives Matter movement and Left-wing activists such as Greta Thunberg. Our revelations will fuel allegations of political bias at the broadcaster and follows a series of scandals that have damaged the BBC's reputation, including its doctoring of a Donald Trump speech. It comes as the Corporation faces a pivotal moment in its history, with Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy expected to publish a White Paper on its charter renewal before Christmas. BBC director general Matt Brittin has pledged to tackle bias by rolling out technology that monitors how often certain words or phrases are used. Danny Cohen, a former controller of BBC television, last night called for an urgent investigation into our findings.
