What school communities are saying.
Hundreds of students, teachers and school communities have already pledged their support against racism.
<p>I hereby pledge my support for the goal and principles of anti-racism education and will work towards eliminating racism from our schools and society as a whole. </p>
<p>Racism is simply an irrational prejudice, a product of ignorance and fear. I believe no-one is born hating another person because of that person is different from you. I pledge to stop racism.</p>
<p>We all need to be kind, respect diversity, respect differences, and walk in love. The world would be a better place.</p>
<p>I promise to speak up about injustices I see and to have the courage to stand up for what is right, even when it makes me feel uncomfortable.</p>

<p>I will try my best to look out for other people who are being bullied or discriminated against. I will not judge people on their race, beliefs, culture and will try to make harmony with everyone</p>
<p>’ve always promised not to stand by racism, so here is my pledge. Racism is not okay, full stop. I shouldn’t matter what colour we are, where we came from or what nationality we are.</p>
<p>I pledge to fight against racism in case. Racism is illegal. I will stop racism as far as I can go. There are those people who deserve respect so that is my deepest belief no more racism.</p>
<p>We want a world where racism does not exist. This starts with the education of children. This includes education about bystanders and their ability to stop racism in its tracks when they see or hear it</p>
<p>I pledge to eliminate racism by teaching the students at St Thomas More Catholic Primary about the cultures of First Australians, encouraging them to become more inclusive and demonstrate respect to all within our community.</p>
<p>We have have the basic right to feel safe, there is no place for racism in a civilized society…time for every one of us in Australia to reflect and respect…. </p>
<p>I would like to put my name and voice behind tryin to eliminate racism once and for all. I would like future generations to experience a world without hate and discrimination.</p>
