This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Abolish Faith Schools in the United Kingdom.
The segregation of children based on their parents' religious belief is a dangerous, outdated system. Denominating by faith, teaching them that they're different, and denying them the opportunity to engage beyond their faith group breeds suspicion, ignorance, mistrust, and a feeling of 'the other'.
