| Message | Sorry, but I seem to be getting these in a different order to you. I'm assuming that you can go along with the discipline and charter schools proposals, correct me if I'm wrong. As for the religious schools: I have nothing against religion itself, but I'd rather that if people were to join a religion they'd do so through a conscious decision, and not because they were indoctrinated with it at school. Homeschooling is a problem because there is no guarantee that students are being taught everything they should be learning, or what they are learning is correct. It can also be used to prevent children coming into contact with alternative viewpoints to those of their parents. Although this is not true in the majority of homeschooled cases, it is still a concern if some students are receiving limited or lower quality education. |

| Message | Yes, but still, I think religious schools should be allowed. It's up to the people where to send their children to school. |

| Message | ya the New Freedom party beat me to it, its a decision to allow people to go to school. No one should force anyone to go to a government school, private school or homeschool. it should be a choice of the parents how there child is educated, not the governments |

| Message | Mmm... I can understand your POV, it's just that... well I'd rather that if people were to join a religion it was because they made the choice themselves, and not because they were taught it as absolute truth at school. |
| Date | 14:01:42, March 27, 2007 CET | From | Gadurian Peoples Party Party | To | Debating the New Mollsuc Manifesto II (Education) |
| Message | I Don't see why religion should be banned in schools altogether, everyone should have the right to believe what they want and can practice their religion anywhere they want. Why is Gadurios becoming a country of no freedom? It sickens me |
| Date | 10:32:23, March 28, 2007 CET | From | People's Liberation Front | To | Debating the New Mollsuc Manifesto II (Education) |
| Message | Its because Rob is scared of religions |
| Date | 16:23:13, March 28, 2007 CET | From | Gaduri Resistencia | To | Debating the New Mollsuc Manifesto II (Education) |
| Message | Religions aren't scary. Fundamentalism and cults are scary. Both of these are born of indoctrination and teaching religious ideas as though they're absolute facts. |
