What the petition asks
It's important to many Christians to go to church on Sunday, Jews to go to synagogue on Saturday, and Muslims to go to mosque on Friday. However, most schools don't finish on Friday until after prayer is over. We want schools to close at 1pm on Fridays, so Muslim students can go to pray at mosque.
I want the Government to require all schools to close by 1pm on Friday to help Muslim students practise their faith.
