More details
It is the governments duty of care, to intervene when there are problems. Racism still exists. Currently students are taught not to do anything racist. Young pupils and students need to be taught correct information so they don't even think like a racist which then can never be acted on. Schools have to follow government legislation and therefore parliament is required. By doing so future generations will be collective regardless of race. This benefits our country socially and economically.
