| Message | I've said it before and I'll say it again: Beating children into submission is not an option that schools deserve to have. Nor do they deserve the right to religiously ostracize children into submission. |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
