From | New Democratic Party | To | Debating the charter school regulation | | Message | Hear, hear. We are proud to support the Unified Lodamun Party. The NDP believes that children are our future, that we should teach them well and let them lead the way. No one should profit from their education. |

From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the charter school regulation | | Message | If people choose to send their children to schools that make a profit, isn't that their choice? One would assume that non-profit and for profit charter schools exist side by side under the current law. If a non-profit is cheaper, people would probably send their children there. But if a for profit school offered a better education at a good price, shouldn't parents have the right to send their children to those schools? Why do we need to take options off the table for parents other than to satisfy an anti-capitalist agenda? |

From | The Unified Lodamun Party | To | Debating the charter school regulation | | Message | It is not an anticapitolist agenda. Its an agenda that forces schools to use the money they bring in with tuition on the students, and facilities, and not on new cars for themselves. |

From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the charter school regulation | | Message | It's not a bad thing to make money, that's capitalism. Anti-capitalist ULP logic dictates no profit and less choice for the parents of Lodamun. Other than an aversion to capitalism, why would any party support this travesty of a bill or many of the others which have rolled back the Lodamese free market in recent years. URP is the only party which consistentaly fights against the idiotic regulations the ULP among others want to impose. |

From | The Unified Lodamun Party | To | Debating the charter school regulation | | Message | OOC What the Hell????? How are two of the absolute most heavily based small government parties against this. Its' just baffling. SOmetims you folks just don't make sense. Actually, URP, you rarely do. |

From | Lodamun Distributionist Party | To | Debating the charter school regulation | | Message | Not true at all. Small government only means less regulation at a certain level. We could, in theory, have a number of local dictatorships with allied warlords, if we wanted. |
