Rejected petition Allow parents the choice to take their children out of school during covid-19

Parents are being forced to send their children to school during unprecedented times. These are not normal circumstances. Parents vulnerable to illness are forced to either send their child to school or to be punished and fined.

Not every child is suited to the new layout in schools of being separated and distanced. This is having an impact on some children's mental health.

I feel with not giving parents discretion in this matter is breaking human and equality law.
