Introduce More Inclusive Education in England

    In our schools we still face far too much bigotry, with very few solutions. Merely telling children ‘slurs are bad’ doesn’t change their outlooks, or have a new, forthright perspective to show them. We are not supposed to enforce political opinions, which is just, but I think teaching them acceptance is on a different level, when it is to teach new views instead of dragging out the prejudice that should have left our society decades ago. From this, our lessons should not have a minimal amount of life-based education (e.g. a short discussion based on sex and drugs every so often) but focus on a variety of matters that are poignant today.
    A small mention on the different types of political parties in this country just is not good enough. We don’t talk on what is pressing, in the news today, and we don’t educate the bigoted. I think we truly need to focus on homophobia, racism and sexism in our schools, as well as make more known about minorities. For the time being, if any of these are mentioned, we simply discuss why stereotypes are wrong, or debate homosexual marriage, while it seems more important to our youth to talk about representation, for example. Teach them about how and why prejudice and discrimination is still present, teach them about more than simply gay people when most do not understand other genders and sexualities (such as transgender and nonbinary people and bisexuals, pansexuals, and asexuals) and teach them how they can make a difference to how society is.
    Most of all, I think we need to broaden the education our youth receives to make it inclusive and guided towards making a more accepting future.
