Liverpool’s schools are reportedly set to have the Hillsborough Disaster added to their curriculum.
This update comes courtesy of @CapitalLivNews in a tweet, with this addition to the programme designed to ensure that future generations are made aware of the event and the ongoing fight for justice.

Following the ruling that 97 fans were unlawfully killed, the loved ones of the supporters in question have yet to succeed in the legal system, with there yet to be a party held accountable.
It’s a step in the right direction that will undoubtedly help ensure that the fight for justice is carried by the next generation.
As far as we’re concerned, however, it’s a part of recent history that should be at least a factor of education around the United Kingdom to help build empathy.
This is particularly given the fact that disgraceful chanting prior to, during and after games with Liverpool continue to demonstrate a warped perception of the city and people held by some beyond the borders of Merseyside.
