What the petition asks
Theresa May wishes to relax the school admission rules to allow them to select every child from one religion. Creating environments where children would not come into contact with a children from a different background to themselves.
The complete segregation of children will encourage a more disparate society in the future, with less understanding of each other.
Schools should exist to educate - not to encourage tribalism.
Furthermore; religious schools do not allow a free, independent arena for children to learn to question. When a child receives religion from a place of worship, home and school - there is no space to form an independent opinion. It's tantamount to brain washing.
