| Message | "Whilst feeling deeply the utmost respect for our political allies against the capitalist menace, the Irish and Rald Parties namely, and respecting the honor and integrity of their views, must ask that they attempt to view the issue from a different perspective. We speak of the rights of the children, not merely those of the parents. Does the child not have the right to the highest possible education available? Why should the child suffer from limited education because that is what its parents happen to wish? The child may be deprived of a multitude of career opportunities, particularly in the sciences, due to indoctrination into their parent's religious beliefs that will leak into their home education and corrupt their learning opportunities forever. We of the Revolutionary Socialist Party, and all fellow comrades in our revolution, do not believe that a child should be condemned due to the wishes of its parents." -Natasha Danielovich Feterokov, Undersecretary of the Revolutionary Socialist Party |
