Stop the government changing GCSE and A-Level exams rescheduled to avoid Ramadan

What the petition asks

So if you're muslim you have special privileges? What about christians who fast, which can be any time of the year, not just Christmas and Easter. This kind of privilege treatment just creates more division between people of different race, faith and ethnicity.

Islam is not superior to Christianity, Christianity was actually reformed to better. The same cannot be said for Islam. Children are also not born religious. Religion is a free choice, not a racially or ethnicity duty. I dislike religion being forced on children, especially when it creates division in a nation and takes away freedom of a child.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Decisions about the dates of exams are taken by exam boards, not by the UK Government or Parliament.
