| Date | 10:32:27, September 15, 2005 CET | From | Totalitarian Party | To | Debating the Private School Regulation Act |
| Message | The Totalitarian Party realises that if a private school's teaching methods are shown to be flawed, the school will become unpopular, and will likely fail. We also realise that some people have no access to alternate schools, and are forced to use what is available to them. We also feel that the current system is unfair to students who attend a school before its poor teaching quality is revealed. |

| Message | This is a parent's right to choose. Not some government official. If by some chance this would pass, we would work through the ministry of education to block implementation. |
