'No child is born racist' – Boateng calls for discrimination to become 'integral' part of school curriculums

With unrest growing due to the death of George Floyd, the Germany international wants to see more done at a systemic level

Bayern Munich's Jerome Boateng has called for schools to include “integral” anti-racism lessons as part of their curriculums as he feels that “no child in this world is born a racist”.

The centre-back's comments come in the wake of ongoing unrest in the US, with the majority of major cities across the country seeing protesters take to the streets following the death of African-American citizen George Floyd.

Racism is prevalent in the football world too, with countless incidents having taken place over the years and prompting the establishment of organisations such as Kick It Out and various other initiatives aimed at eradicating discrimination in the sport.
