Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

| Don't pray, teach! In order to better reflect Beluzias' stance as a secular nation we propose that teachers may not lead prayers within schools, this does not prevent pupils from praying on their own if they should wish, except in the case of religious schools for obvious reasons. |

| Message | I think what you ought to be praying for is these teachers lives, when mainstream Beluzia hears about your betrayal! When they plan to attempt to preach their brutal nihilism before weak and pusillanimous youngsters, in reality the Peoples Youth has long become accustomed to their prayers for Mercy.. once they are Captured! Proselytizers of moral degeneracy are as often found absent without leave as they are quickly replaced by family orientated school matrons. |

| Random quote: On 7th February 4281 a group of renowned Metzist experts from all across Terra met in Haldor to form the International Committee for the Estimation of the End Date of Capitalism (ICEEDC). With the assistance of a powerful computer, they calculated that capitalism will terminate Terra-wide on 6th November 4320, and in Dorvik on April 17th 4310. We have no reason whatsoever to believe these very eminent and learned scholars are wrong. They have never been wrong about anything before. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer, General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
