| Date | 22:44:25, December 01, 2007 CET | From | Liberal Socialist Party of Darnussia | To | Debating the Public Education |
| Message | Public education should be free, and private institutions MUST be regulated to some extent to ensure that they are providing an adequate education for their students. Education must be free as well in order to allow everyone to gain access to it. Subsidizing it won't help every time and can lead to more of an elitist nation than anything. |
