Teach about Racial, Gender, Sexual Equality, and Diversity in Education

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Throughout my time in education these topics were not discussed often and in depth, which in hindsight is not acceptable. I suggest that the government acts and implements these teachings to all individuals in education from a young age and throughout.

People need to become better educated regarding these topics and how in past and present time people face prejudice. Why not educate people to be understanding and open? Surely, this will create a better society for all. People need to be educated.
