Delay teaching about LGBT'S at schools, until children reach Key Stage 2
It unnecessary to teach about LGBT's to children in Early years & Key Stage 1, who do not understand adult relationships anyway. We are not homophobic or asking schools to teach our religious beliefs. We would like it not to be forced upon young kids. It should be delayed until Key stage 2.
Many children were left confused after teachers told kids, boys could be girls and girls could be boys. Teaching about LGBTs and gender fluidity is too confusing for 4 year olds.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because we aren't sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.
The Government isn't requiring children in early years to be taught about "adult relationships" or "gender fluidity" so we're not sure what action you would like it to take. You can find out more about what the Government is proposing should be taught in relationships education here:
