Bill: Religious School Improvement Act of 2394
Details
Submitted by[?]: Christian Democratic Alliance
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: September 2395
Description[?]:
| Recognised religions know best how to run their own schools and they can be trusted to self-regulate themselves. Religious teaching needs more room in order to maximize specific learning results and that the actual message gets through the way religious officials have planned. As religion offers comfort, compassion and safety for people and as majority of Kirlawans are religious, it's only natural that the government encourages teacher-led prayers in schools while taking into account the specific needs of different religions. |
