Make racism part of the national primary curriculum.

What the petition asks

Including lgbtq+ in the curriculum is a step towards equality however the same needs to be done in regards to race equality.

They say nobody is born a racist but equally nobody is born fully aware of black history and the violence and unspeakable acts committed against black people nor are they born proactive in seeking equality therefore it is our responsibility to educate children at a young age so they become proactive in seeking equality. The only way this can be done appropriately is through a unified approach within the education system.
