What the petition asks
Do not force parents who care about their child’s health and wellbeing to go to school. Parents should not have to pay a fine as a punishment for caring about their children.
We want as parents to feel that our children are safe and we shouldn’t be fined for not sending our children to school. Our children’s health and well-being is more important than sending them to school in the current circumstances.
No parent should be held accountable for not sending their child to school due to fear of covid19.
