Stop children being exposed to drag queens in schools and libraries

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

There is a petition to Remove LGBT content from the Relationships Education curriculum (1). However I want to ban children from being exposed to drag queens in schools. It is not appropriate for children under 16 to be exposed to such things since some displays have been pornographic.

Whilst I accept that some people are of LGBT persuasion which is fine. I have many LGBT friends who are very decent law abiding people. However, I believe children should not be exposed to drag queens unless they are over 16 with written consent from their legal guardian, a responsible adult should be present, the drag queen should have a criminal records check and the event should be recorded.

(1) Remove LGBT content from the Relationships Education curriculum

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about who attends schools and libraries are a matter for individual schools and libraries, not the UK Government or Parliament.
