Rejected petition Stop the BBC's proposed plans to lecture school children on 'fake news'.

The BBC are planing to visit thousands of school's in an attempt to teach our children to identify what they perceive as 'fake news'. The BBC have independently been found to be bias. We utterly object to the BBC attempting to brainwash our children and indoctrinating them. Stay away from our kids!
