Ban the wearing of visible religious symbols in schools

Petition Details

The wear of religious symbols in schools is not in accordance with Human Rights Act 1998 Article 9 as minors are dressed by parents who choose and impose the type of religion on them.

Additional Information

The wear of visible religion symbols starting at young ages radically lures children and teenagers towards the religion chosen by parents.
Children's and teenagers' human rights have to be protected. They should have the right and freedom to choose their own religion as at the moment often the parents are the ones who choose and decide the religion for minors.
Not wearing religious symbols in schools will give minors the freedom of seeing alternative options to the religion imposed by parents.

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

Decisions about school uniforms are a matter for individual schools, not the UK Government or Parliament.
