Make anti-racism education a stand-alone part of the British school curriculum.
Change starts with our children. To ensure that racism stops with this generation, anti-racism education needs to start at school. No more white washed history, no more glossing over the atrocities of colonialism and empire.
Books like Why I'm no longer talking to white people about race- Reni Eddo Lodge, Natives- Akala, Don't touch my hair- Emma Dabiri, Me and White Supremacy- Layla Fsaad, and countless others, should be required reading. It's not enough to teach our children to be kind. We have to start teaching them to be actively anti-racist. Research says that children start to form racial biases before they're three. We have to start from school. We need to fix this broken system for our kids.
