Make Religious Education optional for students from Year 7 to Year 13
We want the Government to reform the school curriculum by making Religious Education an optional subject for all students between Years 7 and 13 to allow non-religious students to have their own beliefs and not have religion enforced on them.
We feel that religious education is not necessary for student education, could make anyone at a school feel uncomfortable with their own religion (non-religion) and ensure inclusivity towards all.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
