Petition Action

Stop the cancellation of Christian festival celebrations in our schools.

Petition Details

Ensure that celebrations of Christian festivals such as Easter or Christmas are not cancelled in our schools and that no plans are made to remove Christianity from the school curriculum.

Additional Information

Certain schools have cancelled this year's Easter celebrations in the interests of diversity but if the celebrations of one faith's festivals are cancelled then all should be cancelled. Cancelling any one of them goes against diversity.
