Petition Compulsory Education Of Black History In Scottish Schools It is time to address what this nation was built on. i am sure that many of us have read or watched the outcry of the black american people over the death of george floyd – another innocent black man murder at the hands of a white police officer. i am sure that many of us sat back and must have said, “thank god scotland isn’t like that”. It is my view that between social sciences, religious and moral education and health and well being, there should be a full, accurate and updated version of black history taught in scotland’s schools. this should happen from our broad general education and should be carried on to the senior phase where possible.
