Petition to teach racism issues in schools signed nearly 60,000 times
18 June 2020
A petition launched by three young women for racism issues to be taught at school has been signed 58,236 times. The initiators needed 40 thousand valid signatures to put the issue on the agenda of the Tweede Kamer, the lower house of Dutch parliament.
The petition was launched by three friends - Sohna, Veronika and Lakiescha - in the midst of mass protests against racism and police brutality world wide. "We asked ourselves: what can we do in the Netherlands to combat contemporary racism?" Veronika said to NOS. "We want to use schools to break the habit of racism. A lot of that behavior is unconscious."
