Rejected petition Go on strike from schools to make the government shut down schools.

With the rise of Covid19 being clear and infections rising day by day by significant amounts, the government need to close all UK schools to ensure to us all that the children and the health are protected at this current stage we are in.

More details

The government need to do this because they are risking more and more lives, it has been everywhere on the news that by keeping schools open, their plan will fall and wont work, we need to forget about the interest of the GDP which can be rebuilt, and shut schools because health is far more important than money, because the money is coming from the pockets of those who are being forced to go to school and risk this catastrophic illness.
