Rejected petition Banning Faith Schools

More details

Faith schools should be banned, as should any school which biases, in any way, it's education or activity towards a specific belief.
Children should be given the right to explore, as freely as possible, their choice of belief, and should therefore not have it impressed upon them at a young age by figures of authority.
It is critical to mandate that teaching of evolution is not given by teachers who misunderstand it, or are biased against it due to faith.
