| Message | We already have that under the Apartheid Restoration Act, but it is easier for private educational facilities to get away with not upholding the law than for government schools to. |

| Message | Although the Crown Loyalists have reservations about Article 4, specifically the dissolution of public schooling, we see no reason to vote in the negative given the good the other Articles provide. |
