| Message | Government should show NO preference to any religion. Government is not in business to promote or hinder religious/spiritual expression (unless it effects public health). Of course, this could all be avoided if we didn't have public-funded education to begin with. |

| Message | chuirch and state are still separate under this bill. All schools will be private, therefore it is none of the government's business what is taught in them. |
