We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for. Decisions about marking religious events is a matter for individual schools, not the UK Government or Parliament.

Background
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.
