| Message | Compulsory government education does not equal freedom. School curriculum chosen by the majority forced onto EVERYONE is not freedom it's indoctrination. Funding for government education is extremely expensive and requires a graduated or "progressive" tax code that is not fair to all classes and forces everyone even those who do not have children and or require government schooling AT ALL to pay for it, this is not freedom it's confiscation of wealth/property. The SBP (387) requests support for this legislation and urge all parties to vote on the side of freedom, not indoctrination and confiscation. |

| Message | When it's forced it is. Would you like the Red Cross coming up to you and telling you to pay them half your income or else they would throw you in jail? This isn't abolishing education it's abolishing compulsory education and ending the state from indoctrinating the Kirlawan youth. None of you think the people of our nation are the slightest bit responsible...bring on the socialism and regulated freedom. I say we ban all pointy "things". |

| Message | Without an educated population, our Confederacy would soon lose it's capability to compete with foreign econmies, not to mention the fact that we we'd become a depraved, culture-less, stupid bunch of cavepeople. Guess what the Draconic Party'll vote. |

| Message | This does not banish "education" this doesn't even get rid of government schooling. It just makes attendance voluntary – THAT’S IT. When we didn't have government education, was the world made up of a "bunch of stupid cave people", No. You have no faith in people; they can live without you dictating their lives you know. |
