Rejected petition Remove forced prayer from schools, or change to prayers from all religions

Forcing children to follow one set religion on a daily basis in schools is unethical and wrong and making an allocated time everyday to pray to a god they may not believe in is archaic as a community we should be celebrating all faiths equally as we are meant to be portraying a diverse country.

More details

All religions should be taught an equal amount of time and all children should have access to this, all perants should be informed of any mandatory faith based activities.
