What the petition asks
We want the Department for Education to release guidance to support teachers to explain and discuss the ongoing Israel/Palestine conflict. This could help normalise student/teacher discussion around this topic.
Support schools to present the facts to students and discuss the issues, to help diffuse the stigma around this topic and normalise discussions of it. To help encourage discussions in school about people in Palestine and Israel who are currently suffering, as well as encouraging teaching the young generation the nuances of the conflict. This could lead to students getting involved in helping the people in the depths of the conflict by fundraising and raising awareness.
