Rejected petition Ban inappropriate "All About Me" self-touching lessons for six year olds

I'd very much like parliament to hear the concerns of worried parents across UK who've recently been told that the already inappropriate "All About me" programme is to roll out "self-touching" lessons to children six years old and upwards - the pertinent words in that sentence being "children".

More details

Things are already out of control with our teenagers, now we hear that children of six and seven are to become prey to yet more out-of-control "programme makers", who conveniently do not come under the close scrutinies /vetting procedures of our teachers. Schools are not buildings full of products for social engineers to play with. We can only speculate as to the motivation of programme initiators. https://agentsmithreports.blogspot.com/2019/09/self-touching-classes-for-six-year-olds.html

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

In any case, we can't accept your petition because the All About Me programme isn't a national UK Government scheme. It's a decision for individual local schools whether they wish to adopt the programme, not the UK Government or Parliament as a whole.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
