Assignment

Now think about all types of discriminations you see around you and/or have experienced yourself in school. Now make a school plan to battle discrimination and racism in our school. 

NB: you need to address all types of discrimination and ensure all marginalized and discriminated groups in our society benefit from this plan. 

Make a specific school plan:

1. Education: Teach students about diversity, equality, and the effects of discrimination through lessons and workshops.
2. Raise Awareness: Ensure that both teachers and students understand biases and stereotypes.
3. Clear Anti-Discrimination Policies: Develop and enforce strict rules against discriminatory behavior.
4. Create a Safe Environment: Encourage an atmosphere of respect, inclusion, and open communication.
5. Reporting and Support Systems: Provide confidential ways for students to report discriminatory incidents and access guidance.

Controverse

De Gouden Koets kwam in 2011 in opspraak vanwege de voorstelling op het linkerpaneel Hulde der Koloniën. De Tweede Kamerleden Harry van Bommel (Socialistische Partij) en Mariko Peters (GroenLinks) stelden voor het paneel te verwijderen omdat het zijpaneel 'halfnaakte zwarte mannen en vrouwen afbeeldt die hun rijkdommen aanbieden aan het koningshuis'.[20] Historicus Roelof Jan Minneboo argumenteerde dat los van de betekenis de symboliek niet meer in de tijd past, maar historici Han van der Horst en Piet Emmer stelden hier tegenover dat de voorstelling geen verheerlijking is van de koloniën, maar mensen juist confronteert met het koloniale verleden.[21] Het paneel toont de in die tijd geldende verhoudingen met de koloniën en verwijst volgens historicus Susan Legêne van de Vrije Universiteit naar de discussie rond de ethische politiek, waarbij een morele roeping centraal stond die Nederland behoorde te voelen tegenover de bevolking in de koloniën.[22]
