Message | Huh, ok, education is a right, I am in total agreement with that. Capitalism without education is immoral. However, we are making sure every child has education. |

Message | But to demand payment for what is a right is illogical. |
Date | 13:30:09, October 08, 2007 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Education Reform Bill |
Message | Education is not a right, is a service as any other is. I wan't to be free to pay for MY education as well as freely choose the school or schools where I want my children to be educated, for instance. What is immoral is to pay for a socialized educational system. That's what's immoral. We support freedom in education as opposed to "free" education (as you call it) and despite that we assure that those few that really cannot afford their own education hava access to government issued vouchers (or private charity, instead). |
