Bishops Diocesan College pupils demand school to address racism

Bishops Diocesan College learners yesterday said it was the result of years of inaction and intolerance.

In the memorandum, the students said racism, and greater intolerance, loomed over the school since its inception.They want ground and cleaning staff to have the same access to bursaries for their children as teachers.They want the curriculum decolonised, adding that apartheid and colonialism can no longer be taught as historically neutral.

Matrics demanded the school allow an external body to host discussions on minority groups for teachers and grade 8 pupils. Bishops principal Guy Pearson responded in a statement saying the school has a transformation and diversity policy, social sustainability document, and an anti-discrimination policy.

Pearson said the pupil’s memorandum is an ideal opportunity to continue conversations with the school's community on these important issues.

Racism is systemic in RSA, a school can never address this but the government! As long as the system favors whites than blacks we are reinforcing racism. If not addressed peacefully the Blacks will end it by force

Rubbish school full of rubbish rightwingers

where do pupils come from, demanding’...? dafuq? tail wagging the dog?

What the pupils want is to DUMB DOWN the school

How gay is this school 🤣

🤮

Speaking for students in the east rand... What about racism in ALL of our schools.

And this is the new kind of racism meted out by the new supremecists who are showered with support by our government! Seems blacks are the only people who have rights to do and say what they want without any repercussions ... MYANC GovernmentZA

Reword that : They want a woke school devoid of any discipline, respect or order.

That's a nice house wow
