Stopping LGBT issues to be discussed in schools, most especially to 5 year olds

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

5 year old kids are too young to be taught about issues they have no control over. We feel that 5 years is too young.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We can't accept your petition because we aren't sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take. We aren't sure exactly what issues you would like schools not to discuss.

You can find out more about the changes the Government is making to relationships and sex education here:

You could start a new petition calling for changes to its proposals if that is something you would like to see happen.
