Petition

Remove Harmful Pictures From The School Art Curriculum e.g Skulls

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

I want them to remove harmful content from the art curriculum and for the children to draw normal stuff e.g nature
Some children especially sensitive ones can tense up to the sight of harmful content and it could cause children not going to their lessons. My son Nathan feels traumatised and does not like the curriculum as he has to constantly draw skulls which could damage his mental health.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We are not sure what you mean by "harmful" pictures or content. You could approach the school to discuss your concerns. You may find the following information helpful:
