Message | "We must object on the grounds of the creation of public higher educational institutions. We cannot support this. Not only can we not support public institutions, but this bill was proposed and brought to vote after our bill making all higher education private, so it would be invalidated. Anyone that believes in freedom, the free market, and quality education must reject this bill." -Raamiah Galgenstrick, Chairman of the GJA Foreign Minister of the SJHB |
