Anti-racism lessons should be made compulsory in schools

What the petition asks

I want anti-racism lessons to be made compulsory in primary and secondary schools.
Many people from different racial backgrounds are treated extremely unfairly which leads to and increase in racial hate crime sin the UK. If we teach the younger generation how to accept people from different cultures and ethnic backgrounds this will eventually lead to lower rates of racial hate crimes in the UK.
