What the petition asks
R.E will be made compulsory in 2020. All children from 4yrs old will be taught different kinds of relationships they will have when they are older, like LGBT relationships.
They are too young to learn about any kind relationships. It is unnecessary, this subject should not be mandatory.

Making this subject compulsory at this AGE is taking away parents Freedom.
It will cause confusion and damage children's minds.
4 year olds will not be taught about different religions to tackle racism and islamophobia so WHY about different relationship like LGBTs.
School time and money should be better spent!
