Schools to fight racism with Xmas

Schools in Scotland are being urged to use the Christmas period to get kids to think about racism.

The Educational Institute of Scotland also announced they would be setting up an anti-racism competition with the charity Show Racism the Red Card.

Spokesman Ronnie Smith said: "One of the key messages of the festive season is goodwill to all.

"So this is an appropriate time for young people to think about how they can help others."
