Why this petition matters

Started by Tia Smith

Let’s put an end to systemic racism in the uk, this starts with our education system and how our youth are addressing the topic of ‘race’. The lack of diversity within the school curriculum is troubling, particularly in subjects such as history, where past actions can have such a direct effect on the present. 

Neglecting this in the education system has lead to distorted beliefs heavily influenced by the media and simply the opinions of internet. If everyone is taught the same fair syllabus we can grow and evolved together as one progressive community. The actions of European colonial powers such as Britain and their involvement in the Atlantic Slave Trade, and colonisation of nations across the world has had a direct impact on our world today. Therefore teaching Black history and culture is important because it is an important part of WORLD history.
