Rejected petition ban the use of the english language in school curriculums
In 19th and early 20th century schools in Wales, children were punished for speaking Welsh through the use of the "Welsh Not". This practice involved a wooden token or plaque that was passed to children caught speaking Welsh, and the last child holding it at the end of the day would face corporal punishment, often a beating. The practice was most prevalent from around 1840 to 1900.

this caused sufficient damage to the welsh language as it hadn’t been teached, effectively forcing the population to grow up only speaking English
Why was this petition rejected?
It asks the Senedd to do something that it is not able to do.
Banning one of Wales' official languages might have been possible in 1840, but not today.
A person has a right to education under Article 2, Protocol 1 of the European Convention on Human Rights (“ECHR”). Banning English (or Welsh) would effectively violate that right for speakers of that language.
