Petition Teaching State Laws As A Matter Of Compulsory State Education

More details

Ignorance of the Law is not a defence in Law .
We should teach all the children of the state those laws the state says they all must follow as citizens .
Yet children , adults need to know these laws in order to know NOT to breach them. As it stands there exists a systematic dumbing down of all children as evidenced by the continued lack of an education in state laws.

Example - Children are criminally liable at age 12, yet what criminal laws have we taught them, that they, must not breach ? NOTHING !! Ditto Human Rights Declarations.

Please sign this petition so we can teach all our children the laws they must not break, as a matter or normality.

This will also help create lawful communities and societies, as individuals are likely to have a better understanding and appreciation of the law, and so be more engaged to uphold it and interact in a more civilised manner.

Please help create a lawful society by signing this petition.
