What the petition asks
LGBT relationship education including under equality,should be delayed untill secondary school.Let children be children.This is confusing children and they do not see any differences in anyone,they see everyone as equal no matter who they are.
Currently schools are still teaching LGBT relationships, claiming under equality act.Those who have religious beliefs,will constantly have to explain to children what they are being taught at school is against their beliefs.So this may eventually create homophobia in children as they grow,which we do not want.It is better to teach this in secondary school as they will have a better understanding.
