Diversity is what makes the world a beautiful place .Our different races ; cultures; religions and beliefs should be recognised equally .However at the present moment children are taught about different religions and cultures except black history and african spirutuality.Black history shkuld be taught at all times not just in October.It is important for all children to know that each and every person is special and everyone should be represented.
