Teach British children about the realities of British Imperialism & Colonialism

Petition Details

In the light of recent events, I feel the UK need to step forward and become leaders, for many years the black community has been a target. It's time to stop. Teach black history in all UK schools and not just for a "month" all year round for several months. Help the black community become EQUIL.

Additional Information

The Department for Education states that;
 ‘The national curriculum for history aims to ensure that all pupils: Know and understand the history of these islands as a coherent, chronological narrative, from the earliest times to the present day: how people’s lives have shaped this nation and how Britain has influenced and been influenced by the wider world’
Despite this, there is still much omitted from Britain’s colonial history. By excluding the evils of British Imperialism, along with how members of the African Diaspora contributed to the British nation-state, British children are robbed of understanding how colonialist ideology was implemented. This stunts the growth of racial equality in the UK and hinders the racial esteem of Black British children
