What the petition asks
We the people would like our children’s history and religious education lessons to change as of today. To include relevant learning of all Races and religions in our schools.
Our education system needs updating.
To help the future generations understand each races history and bring about compassion and understanding in our children of the future.
History Education should cover Black, Asian and White peoples struggles and tribulations and should tell The good, the bad and the ugly of all history without fear of offending.
Only then will our children have understanding and compassion without bias views.
