Rejected petition Teach children in schools about racism and white privilege.
As we have seen for decades, racism is still prevalent in today’s society. I have many friends from ethnic minorities and they should not have to face racism from other children in their school.
More details
If our older members of society were taught about this on a greater scale with people who have faced racism coming in and teaching about racism they have faced white privilege and how to use it to protect the minorities of our society, people wouldn’t be so racist nowadays. If children learn about it in secondary schools then that will reduce racism on a huge scale. This generation cannot be racially abused and uneducated. There needs to be a change.
