| Message | I wasn't aware that it's evil to have the government set up schools for those who can't afford it. Talk all you want about how we're evil, but all citizens have a right to an education, not just the ones who can afford it. Sorry that you're tax paying friends don't care about letting everyone get an education. We do care though. |

| Message | Education isn't free! When you say all citizens have a 'right' to education, you are also saying somebody is forced to provide it. Forcing people to work for you against their will is called slavery, and slavery is definately evil. Why enslave our citizens? Why not establish charity schools that use voluntary donations to provide education to those that can't afford any? The League would support something like that 100%. |
