| Message | Exactly why should a "national standard" be in place or enforced? Schools should have the freedom to design their curricula as they see fit, to let it reflect the needs of their local communities. |

| Message | The reason there is a national standard is to ensure that kids are given a good education. |

| Message | Schools are given fair freedom in this case. Public and private institutions, though we are fundamentally opposed to the private ones, are allowed to mold their course to teach about local traditions, history, and so forth. The 'national standard' is there solely to ensure schools teach what is generally accepted as fact, for example, barring schools from teaching the Earth is 6000 years old or that it is flat. |
