Change the curriculum to reflect black history
Children deserve to be taught a true depiction of English history because there have been events beyond living memory and historical events that have involved black people. The history curriculum has always focused on white Anglo-Saxons and the bias ingrained in the history needs to be changed.
The government NEED to change it because you need to break down systemic racism from the ground up.
We need to ensure that in PSHE, racial conversations are statutory so children feel there is an open space to ask questions and have them answered by objective educators. The children are our future, they will shape the world of tomorrow and we need them to grow as well-cultured beings in order to be civilised members of society.
