Racial prejudices widespread despite Czech school prevention

Some prejudices are widespread among Czech students, such as their relations to Jews and the Roma, in spite of school programmes on the Holocaust, tolerance and minorities, according to a survey that the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes (USTR) released on Wednesday. The authors of the survey had expected that prejudices against minorities would be less common within the young generation than among those who had not undergone such programmes, but the survey showed that the opposite seems to be true.
