MessageRemoving prayer from our schools is a move to remove religion from our children, remove faith from our lives. We are opposed.

MessageThis is the way that the URP believes our society should run. The less rules, regulations, and morality the better, but when morality causes our people to get rid of regulation as the URP is so want to do, he falls completley to the side of fully regulated laws forbidding things he dosn't like. Its quite funny, the longer you are here the more his hypocrisy will shine through on these issues.

MessageThe ULP is wrong. This bill does not limit freedom or liberty as I understand it. In the end some decision has to be made about what is and is not acceptable in a public classroom. The state has entrusted teachers with a great deal of power in cultivating the minds of young Lodamese. Teachers can continue to pray, but not while serving in their official capacity. The URP believes the right of the teacher to lead a prayer is far outweighed by the rights of the students not to have religious beliefs imposed on them by a state agent. Clearly religious schools should be an exception.

As for the ULP's other comments, I point out that URP has perhaps the most consistent and clear ideology of any Lodamese political party. I can't tell you where the ULP will stand on any given issue; they have no ideology.

MessageThat is good political talk from the URP. Everyone knows exactly where the ULP stands on pretty much every issue. The URP is the one that flip flops depending on who proposes what, and what the polls say.

FromIndependent Republican Party
ToDebating the School Prayer
MessageDespite our secularist stance, we cannot support this bill. If a public school has a student base that predominantly consists of a certain religion, they should be able to choose whether or not to allow public prayer.

Messagethis bill isn't about public prayer it's about TEACHER-LED PRAYER.
