Professor Marcia Langton has warned that schools teaching about racism must take care not to traumatise children, urging educators to approach the topic with sensitivity.
Langton's Warning on Trauma
Speaking in a video published by the Guardian, Langton said that while it is important to address racism in schools, the way it is taught can cause harm to children. She emphasised that educators must be mindful of the emotional impact on students.
Call for Sensitivity
Langton highlighted the need for a careful approach, stating that the subject should be handled in a way that does not cause distress. She did not provide specific examples of how schools should adapt their teaching methods but stressed the importance of avoiding trauma.
