| Date | not recorded | From | To | Debating the National Education Act |
| Message | We agree with the sentiments of Article 2. However, we see no reason to deny parents the right to send their children to a private school if they truly feel that it will provide a better learning environment. |
| Date | not recorded | From | Totalitarian Nationalist Party | To | Debating the National Education Act |
| Message | Is this more acceptable? |
| Date | not recorded | From | Democratic Socialists | To | Debating the National Education Act |
| Message | We agree with Articles 2 and 3 of this measure, but disagree with forcing children to sing the national anthem. They should grow up without this form of indoctrination, so they can critically analyse the government and the nation. |
| Date | not recorded | From | Totalitarian Nationalist Party | To | Debating the National Education Act |
| Message | The school system does teach children how to think critically of the world around them, including the government. This is simply so children are proud of where they come from, and are patriotic. |
| Date | not recorded | From | To | Debating the National Education Act |
| Message | This seems acceptable to us. |
| Date | not recorded | From | Democratic Socialists | To | Debating the National Education Act |
| Message | Apologies; there is another amendment we wish to make. Article 4: Proposal to change Education for children under adult age. Current: Education is entirely voluntary. Proposed: Education is compulsary, but home schooling is permitted. |
| Date | not recorded | From | Totalitarian Nationalist Party | To | Debating the National Education Act |
| Message | Our party would accept that if the age considering a person an adult was moved to 16, however it would be best if that was put forth in another bill. I support this however. |
| Date | not recorded | From | Populist Party | To | Debating the National Education Act |
| Message | I'll support it if education is compulsary, but education should be compulsary through secondary school. |
| Date | not recorded | From | Totalitarian Nationalist Party | To | Debating the National Education Act |
