Message | I must disagree with this, as allowing only certain religions to form private schools is unjust. Private schools themselves only benefit the wealthy and are difficult for the government to regulate. |

Message | Well, I dont want some cult running around saying they are a religion having a school. And I do not see how private schools are bad. Could you explain that? |
Date | 03:06:47, September 29, 2005 CET | From | Communist Party of Kafuristan | To | Debating the Amendement to the Constitution - Education |
Message | Private schools, firstly, seperate those wealthy enough to pay tuition and those who attend public schools, creating class conflict. Second, they are a method for parents to isolate their children from learning what the government has seen as educational, and they are also used to force certain religious beliefs through such attendance, instead of giving a child the opportunity to learn from a diverse and unbiased source. As communist, it is nature to vote against this selection of rules, however feel free to vote according to your own opinions. |

Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
