Petition Ban schools from requiring students to take Religious Education GCSE

Some schools require their students to take Religious Education as a GCSE, even though this is not a compulsory subject for Key Stage 4. We want this to be banned.

More details

Not everyone wants to study Religious Education as a GCSE and students shouldn't be forced to study a subject they have no interest in, especially when the subject is optional in most schools.
