| Message | Religion has no place in public schools, and private schools should have freedom of choice. As for the anthem, forced obedience is foolish, as it is more likely to degrade loyalty in those who had it but resent the use of force than it is to inspire loyalty in those who did not already feel it. The punishment policies should be set by the schools, not the teachers. We need some checks on sadists. Government should not be in the position of choosing which private efforts of cultural preservation deserve funding, because it allows those in charge to determine which parts of culture they wish preserved, and government is the last part of society that should be making that decision. Sex education should be the choice of the school, not the government. |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
