Introduce Black History into Primary and Secondary education

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Pass an education bill that introduces Black History as a mandatory part of the syllabus for primary and secondary school students.

To help spread awareness for history of minorities embedded in our cultures and societies. Awareness and the ability for empathy and understanding of different cultures comes with education. With all the controversy surrounding minorities both here and abroad it is clear that the time has come to make education in these matters a part of our curriculum to help ease tensions and unite the people of our country.
