| Message | The same argument against as we presented in http://82.238.75.178:8085/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=10844 This proposal will allow charter schools - full stop. Either you accept all and any specialist groups using public funds to set up charter schools or you accept that public funds should not be used for this. Our education system provides for private schooling. Any charity can set up a private school. There is nothing preventing this. Our objection is to public funds being used for specialist causes, regardless of their nature. It does not matter if they are local or national, the use of one person's money to fund a school dedicated to an ideology that that person is opposed to is wrong, and no matter what the charter school is dedicated to, there will be someone in the local area opposed to it. |

| Message | this is not about charter schools. It is about letting local governments have more power. If Golavia wants to establish a special self-governing school to allow Golavian children to learn everything in their local language, then who are we to interfere? |
