Abolish ‘faith’ schools

What the petition asks
End the scandal of the state-sponsored indoctrination of children into religions. No child should be taught ‘faith’ as fact. All schools should be secular, meaning that they should be free from religious influence. Children should be educated to think for themselves on matters of belief and religion
