daft

Just to add to this "get kids interested in history" argument. I think the "diversity"-spiel is a chimera. No real follow ups are usually done on how it might achieve said goals, on the contrary. 
I feel it's more of a PR-opportunity for companies, government authorities and also in our case, the Swedish Defence Forces.
Again, it's a sign of the times. Kids want to hear this stuff to feel good, but I doubt it actually matters when it comes to actually garner real interest past that. 
 

Many government orgs in my resident country of Sweden actually have inclusivity and diversity goals, with money set aside in the budget I assume. I also assume this is the case in the UK as well. Lucrative stuff, this. Sign of the times.
