What the petition asks
It seems like all over the country you're getting more and more news of schools purposely pushing left-wing agendas on students and punishing those that are right wing. UKIP supporters receiving detentions, students being forced to learn and feel guilty about their 'white privilege', etc.
All political education should be unbiased, balanced and fair, and shown from multiple viewpoints.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition asking for a specific change to the national curriculum, if that's what you'd like to happen.
