This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Petition Add anti-racism and anti-bullying modules to the national curriculum
The best way to stop all forms of discrimination and bullying in schools is by educating and spreading awareness on what makes an individual different to the next. Currently there are no specific courses available in schools educating kids about genetics and colour and why discrimination is wrong.
More details
Kids are being bullied in schools, in extreme cases, to death. We can neither blame kids for bullying nor expect discrimination to go away if the source isn’t targeted, if the kids don’t know why it’s fundamentally wrong. There should be courses specifically designed to teach kids about why they’re different to others based on colour, body type and other differences. Kids are sponges, there’s no doubt that a new generation of educated kids would go on to become responsible and accepting adults.
