Bill: Public Education Reform Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: New Conservative Left
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: June 2442
Description[?]:
| It is wrong that our government requires education of all children until they are a legal adult and at the same time requires the families to pay for this education. Lower-income families are simply unable to afford quality education while the better off members of society entrench classist barriers. There cannot be a free market without a level playing field. |

| Message | How could you not support a free public education system. The current law makes education a luxury of the rich or whoever can afford it and denies the basic right of one to those who need an education the most. he current law is a complete abomination and prevents capable young citizens from reaching their full potential. It also severly weakens Lodamun's future workforce. EVERY DEVELOPED AND SOPHISTICATED NATION HAS A PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM. |

| Random quote: "A democracy that does not allow limits is not a democracy. Just as a limitless freedom is not freedom, but prevarication. Indeed, any theory of freedom worthy of this name is first of all a limit theory. If we extend the unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not willing to defend a tolerant society against the attacks of the intolerants, then the tolerants will be destroyed and the tolerance with them! Because, I ask to myself and ask you, given a certain system that we call democratic, which is today the best possible system to allow everyone to live freely and to be able to express their own thoughts, how can the same system admit attacks against its integrity? How can a system refuse the principle of the self-preservation? For this reason, to suppress the apologetics of thalerrism, it's for this reason that the exaltation of exegetes, principles, facts or methods of Thallerism and its anti-democratic aims does not constitute a violation of the freedom of manifestation of thought, but, on the contrary, the celebration of that freedom. The protection of the first premise on which a modern democratic system is based. And this premise must be safeguarded also and above all against itself and its abuses." ~ Malik Astori, Leadership of Liberty and Progress (Istalia) |
