| Message | While there are some things that are rather good in this proposal (though in one or two cases the issue might be taken a bit too far as in Article 7), requiring students to sing the national anthem is something that Workers Power cannot support under any circumstance. I would expect the PRP to think better. Aren't socialists also internationalists as well? |
