On Friday 16 October it is Red Card tol Racism day.

Everyone wears something red to mark it.

It was founded in January 1996. This is 3 decades of anti-racism.

The campaign was founded by Ged Grebby and grew out of a £50 donation that Newcastle United goalkeeper Shaka Hislop a made to a local anti-racism campaign.

It comes in the same month as Black History Month which we enjoyed learning about in school.

These campaigns are important because it shows racism is not acceptable. It means that justice always wins over racism.

As students of JKPS we all support this cause.

In our school for example, we never allow any racism. We are an anti-racist school-and if anyone was racist it’s completely out of order and you would be in a lot of trouble,

Supporters can donate to the anti-racism charity Show Racism the Red Card‘.

So don’t forget to wear red.

If you do – like in a football match, we’re going to send you off the pitch!
