Forbid the use of Brexit propaganda in schools.
Education for Citizenship in schools has always been designed to stimulate debate and widen student's knowledge on political issues. Recent examples of government communication in primary schools have been thinly veiled propaganda for Boris Johnson and Brexit and fall short of educational standards.
I worked for 15 years in Education for Citizenship.
Political facts in schools have always been strongly guarded so that no party achieves advantage: the students develop their political thinking through critical reflection on a range of opinons.
The government purports to be preparing the country for Brexit. Yet its contrived narrative portrays the prime minister as 'pupil friendly' before implying that parliament is stopping him achieving the will of the people.
This is unacceptably biased.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not sure what you mean by Brexit propaganda or which communications you're concerned about.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
