To make regular lessons on racism compulsory in primary and secondary schools
Racism is a learned behaviour. The children of racists are not born racist they are taught to be. Therefore, we should invest more time into educating the younger generation to prevent them thinking racism is an acceptable norm.
If we were to educate the younger generation on the wrongs of racism this would be very beneficial to eradicating racism in the future. Many racist people are simply those that have not been educated on the matter.
