This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Forward your proposed "2020 LGBT+ Education Program" to the 2019 Academic Year.
Parents in Birmingham have pulled hundreds of their children out in protest against LGBT+ Classes.
Furthermore they have now had the Classes "indefinitely suspended" which only highlights their blatant Bigotry/Ignorance. It has to stop!
More details
In 2019 we celebrated 50 years since the Stonewall Riots.
Now we are an established Community with a varied & rich History that can be taught to children at the Secondary School Level so they are learning about a powerful movement.
That movement is once again under threat from narrow-minded parents who need to clearly learn about this brilliant & wonderfully diverse community of LGBT+ Citizens just as much as their children.
Let's bring forward the Education Program to 2019 & learn together!

The Government is intending to introduce compulsory relationships and sex education into schools in 2020. You can find out more here:
You could start a new petition calling for this to be compulsory from September 2019 if that is something you would like to see happen.
