The primary school endured racist trolls targeting children and parents
A Glasgow school's response to racist abuse by producing a powerful play has seen it praised by a councillor.
The primary endured racist trolls targeting children and parents online and in person in October 2022 after a visit from former first minister Nicola Sturgeon.Turing the negative experience into art, the pupils performed their play 'We Can Be Heroes' in the Tramway recently. Pollokshields Councillor Ghani is due to bring a motion to a full council meeting tomorrow asking the council's education boss Douglas Hutchison how this "this type of work can be promoted as a vehicle for further anti-racist action, celebration of our schools and communities."
The motion said: "Council recognises that rightly there was outrage at these events and commends the solidarity shown by the wider school community and city with pupils, parents, and staff who "choose a different way to respond, and chose dance and drama, and love and community". Council further recognises Glasgow is and always has been a dynamic and diverse city being at its best when it is welcoming and upholds those values.
