Petition update, 29 April 2008

More details from petition creator

Plans have been revealed to remove the A-level in Ancient History from schools in the UK. The periods covered by this course shaped and influenced the world we live in today, including our notion of Democracy itself. Study of such events can only benefit future generations. It must be protected, not forgotten.
