To include mandatory Black history into the primary curriculum.
It is important for students to be educated on the injustices of the British Empire. At this moment, students navigate society with a white lens developed by ignoring the perspectives of communities that have been discriminated and persecuted under British Colonial Rule.
Students that are critically absent-minded of histories, such as the enslavement of Black Life, can lead to the perpetuation of certain harms at the expense of Black lives. We propose the government make it mandatory for Black history (i.e Slavery) to feature on the curriculum to mitigate harms due to unconscious prejudice.
