Teach critical race theory in schools and reverse the banning of this theory

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

We need to educate the children of today about the negative effects society has on people of an ethnic minority and bring to light the struggles they may go through in day to day life and to amplify today’s pedagogy to teach the younger generation and improve upon this at an older age, to end racism
Children are now being deprived of basic education of racism and other prejudice and discrimination, and with this pedagogy children will suffer and lead to more institutional racism if not included in the pedagogy. We as a society are able to see this blatant racism and censorship of important and necessary teachings of racism and prejudice and is being hidden behind sensitive content. So, we need to teach the children of today about racism so the people of the future can thrive.
