Make the period of Ramadan a school holiday

What the petition asks
The Government should introduce a new school holiday for the entire month of Ramadan. Christmas is a holiday for everyone, including Christians, meaning time off school. But as a Christian, I feel Muslims should get time off too!
It’s not fair on Muslims. Fasting is a very tiring thing especially as they do it for long periods a day.
