This petition was submitted during the 2017–2019 Conservative government

Rejected petition Make Slavery and Black History compulsory on the Primary Curriculum.

We are the Badgers class and we have been learning about Martin Luther King during Black History Month. We think it's wrong that other children might not learn about this (some of us didn't know who he was before the lesson). It is important that we educate other children. We can change the world!
