This week, My Zone asked a few young people what they think can be done to root out racism in schools and society.

Mariane KapendaI think by better educating students about racism because the root of the problem is a lack of knowledge on the matter. Kids don’t just decide to be racist, it’s actually the environment they grow up in. Maybe talking to the parents about it could also help.Ashley SchwartzThe only way to root out racism in schools is through the school system itself. Firstly, let us teach black children that they matter; their success does not depend on their skin colour. Let us teach the children that it is okay to have a different set of values. They do not need to compare themselves with other races.Natasha ShetunyengaIt starts at home. I do not think enough is being done to educate children at home about racism. Parents should take the initiative and teach their children about racism. The education system must first understand the problem in the schools. The system must prepare student teachers to teach kids of all different races.Armando GarobebTo eradicate racism not only in our schools but from our society, we should stop teaching one part of history and think justice has been served. We should stop forcing ideas onto our fellow human beings.Chenjerai MabhizaWe must develop our own thinking mantra and live our lives from the comfort of our own brain senses. A man that first sees skin colour instead of recognising God's creation in front of him is a man that is not ready to live in this society.Gratchel EisebIn order for us to eradicate racism we should stop painting our spiritual guides in colour and hanging these paintings on the walls of our houses. Because we’re doing damage to the brain. To eradicate this social injustice, we must first of all take a good look at ourselves and remember that the words created to separate us were only made by men who wanted to weaken us. Because to conquer, you have to divide.
