Rejected petition Ban shirts for primary school children

Rejected on 12 July 2021

Ban schools from forcing children as young as 5 to wear shirts.

Because children should be allowed to be children for as long as possible instead of being processed in to a mould. There is no need for a child to wear a shirt
