Description[?]:
| A few measures to increase character, honor, and respect by children. All children are required to work. Work builds character and the economy can only benefit from their cheap labor. Education shall continue until they are 21 years of age and shall include collegiate instruction. We can only benefit from a more educated populace. They shall be required to say and respect our national anthem. It is through our nation that their freedoms are protected. They shall be protected from vices such as the internet, movies, video games, and television. This shall give them as well as all our citizens more time to read, pray, as well as self-reflection. Adoption shall be more strictly regulated to make sure children are not placed in a negative environment. |
