We speak about racism but this also could be from a religious perspective, there are also LGBT groups, as well as other groups such as disability groups within schools. When the witnesses referred in their opening statement to having an anti-racism policy, I thought to myself that this was so obvious, wondered why we had not thought about that before and thought of course we should have an anti-racism policy. There are, however, other protected groups or categories that also are under the Equal Status Act to which we should be giving consideration. Do you have suggestions on how we tackle those other areas?
