What the petition asks
No punishment for parents who do not wish to send their children back to school when the lock down ends until a cure has been found. Parents should be able to exercise free will and the right to make an informed decision particularly if the child has an underlying health condition such as Asthma.
No punishment for parents. Continuous support from the child’s school. No risk of the child being removed from the school register.
