Teach children about hate "in infant school" says shadow education secretary

Sep 23, 2020

Education against antisemitism and online hate should start in infant schools, according to Labour's education spokesman, Kate Green.

She was taking part in a fringe debate at this week’s Labour Party conference, on combating online racism and misogyny chaired by the Holocaust Educational Trust’s (HET) Karen Pollock, which also included Danny Stone, director of the Antisemitism Policy Trust, shadow minister for domestic violence Jess Phillips and HET ambassador Gerry Bluer.

The Shadow Education Secretary said it was “vital” that any legislation embedded the need to for schools to encourage all pupils to discuss and evaluate problematic online content from a young age.
