| Message | We accept. Education is too important to leave merely to individuals. |

| Message | We oppose, unless the bill is amended to specify 'adequate skills and information' so that we can be certain that our children are taught the right morals and values. |

| Message | What are private schools that are regulated? Semi-Public Schools? We cannot support this bill. Parents have their choice to have their kids attend a public or private school, and therefore the private school should be allowed to teach whatever it wishes. However, if the private schools would like government money, than yes there should be some regulations in place to make sure they are teaching them the correct curriculum. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, it is the responsibility of players to ensure the candidate boxes on their Party Overview screens are filled in with appropriate names. If a player is allotted seats in a Cabinet bill and has not filled in names for the relevant candidate position, then the program will automatically fill in the positions with names which might not necessarily be appropriate for the Cultural Protocols. |
