Rejected petition Stop children being exposed to drag queens in schools and libraries

There is a petition to Remove LGBT content from the Relationships Education curriculum (1). However I want to ban children from being exposed to drag queens in schools. It is not appropriate for children under 16 to be exposed to such things since some displays have been pornographic.

More details

Whilst I accept that some people are of LGBT persuasion which is fine. I have many LGBT friends who are very decent law abiding people. However, I believe children should not be exposed to drag queens unless they are over 16 with written consent from their legal guardian, a responsible adult should be present, the drag queen should have a criminal records check and the event should be recorded.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about who attends schools and libraries are a matter for individual schools and libraries, not the UK Government or Parliament.

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