Stop the Spread of Woke & Cancel Culture in British Schools
Rejected
13 signatures
What the petition asks
We are becoming increasingly concerned about the spread of Cancel Culture in British educational institutions. This not only extends to portraits of royals being torn down or statues removed from universities but the worrying push for compulsory education of BAME mistreatment, both past & present.
We request the government to protect our children from being indoctrinated with racially-divisive teaching that Woke & Cancel Culture promote, which brackets and labels individuals based on skin colour and ethnicity. We request that if it does become compulsory to teach the British Empire in schools, then all elements of it must be taught, the good as well as the bad, which includes Britain's role in ending the slave trade and the spread of civilisation and democracy across the globe.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We're not aware of the include of "Woke & Cancel Culture" in the National Curriculum.
You could start a petition calling for something specific to be removed from the national curriculum, if that's what you'd like to see happen.
