| Message | One of our main goals is that the government should gain more influence over the mortal masses. Higher education institutions that are controlled by the government give us the power to make the people believe what we want them to. If there are private institutions we will never be able to achieve such a control. But we don't care about such unimportant themes like sexual education. Schools should decide for themselves on this. And we want to make sure, that people internalise the things we want them to know, and to make sure, they do so, we would like to change the educational testing policy. |

| Message | Private education can be useful because it's more market oriented than public education. This leads to students which are better prepared for the labour market. Sexual education is necessary for children so that they know how to deal with sex. Article 3 is the only article the CDA agrees to. |
| Date | 20:38:54, March 14, 2007 CET | From | Conservative Union Party | To | Debating the Education reform act 2374 |
| Message | We completely agree with the CDA, article 3 we are in favour of but the other 2 NO. Remove 1 and 2 and we will vote for, until then no. |
