Online Course
Proposal code:
GlasgowCommunityChoices-2023-05-6
The creation of an online course providing factual information on the role of Glasgow and Glaswegians in slavery should be funded by Glasgow City Council and offered to all Glasgow residents.
Universities and Colleges currently offer online courses to students, and some of these are free. Glasgow City Council should work with Glasgow Universities and Colleges to create a free online course which uses the available evidence on the city’s role in slavery. This could then be advertised to all residents, and to all university/college students in the city.
If a third sector organisation or private business wishes to do this (with ZERO financial support from GCC) then they are welcome to however under absolutely no circumstances whatsoever should GCC waste a single penny of tax payers money on this divisive and wholly unnecessary project.
The people of Glasgow have far more serious, real world problems that need attention rather this this attempt to drag up 200 year old racial issues which no one alive today has any involvement. This is nothing more than an attempt by those who stand to gain personally (whether politically or financially) to stir up racial division and animosity.
