Reform the national curriculum for drama to include LGBTQ+ and POC stories

Petition Details

There is a lack of LGBTQ+ and POC representation in the drama curriculum in many schools. Schools should be required to teach drama using more diverse content, there’s no excuses for exclusion.

Additional Information

Update the curriculum to include LGBTQ+ and POC stories, find inclusive scripts, make it normal to play characters that students can relate to. Why should LGBTQ+ actors always have to change themselves to tell stories they don’t know how to tell and vice versa. Be more inclusive because I have faced more than enough prejudice over my time in education and I hear too many similar stories.
