All the people who have signed, have made their complaint about the government subsidizing the NTR clear: there should be no government subsidy for the making of racist childrens television! This petition will be presented to the chairmain of the second chamber of the Dutch parliament, who will receive it on behalf of the minister of Education, Culture and Science: Jet Bussemaker. The minister of Education, Culture and Science is the appropriate person to address because she is ultimately responsible for the blackfacing in education, and for the subsidy to the NTR- the television company that makes racist childrens television using blackfacing. The NTR have a legal task, enshrined by law, to provide education and information in the fields of culture, youth, and diversity. The Childrens Ombudsman will be asked, if the government don't respond to our petition, to intervene. The Children's Ombudsman have assured me that individual complaints will be handled, if it involves the violation of childrens rights by a governemnt organisation, private or public body. The Netherlands have an image which they don't deserve, because the Dutch government do NOT take children's and human rights seriously. This blackfacing occurs in the Hague (where various United Nations institutions are based, as well as in cities like Utrecht and Amsterdam, both which proclaim themsleves 'human rights cities'. Utrecht and Amsterdam have no right to call themselves human rights cities or cities of Childrens Rights (which Utrecht also calls itself), when they knowingly and intentionally discriminate against black children and adults. If you are part of a human rights organisation, ask your Dutch colleagues/counterparts to address this racism. We have a responsibility to do something.
