Rejected petition Introduce black history to the school curriculum .
Rejected on
It is important for the British schools to include Black history in the school curriculum in order to promote diversity; equality and inclusion.We need books that teach black history before slavery in schools.African spirituality is a religion that should be included in the schoop curriculam
Diversity is what makes the world a beautiful place .Our different races ; cultures; religions and beliefs should be recognised equally .However at the present moment children are taught about different religions and cultures except black history and african spirutuality.Black history shkuld be taught at all times not just in October.It is important for all children to know that each and every person is special and everyone should be represented.
