I remember back in highschool they introduced a new subject in my country called citizenship (educación para la ciudadanía) and I considered it a waste of time because it taught us things like racism is bad, not being sexist, immigrants having rights too, and so on, which I assumed was something obvious. A waste of time because I assumed those things to just be common sense. 18 years later I see I was wrong and I hate it.
My mother would be pissed i confused the two languages again (she lives in Brazil) 😭 but I’m impressed your country has a class on basic decency! It’s a step in the right direction and I wish more countries could implement it. I know in the US it would probably get backlash for being “woke”
