| Message | It depends on what "regulation" means. We agree there should be no _extra_ regulation(s) placed upon religious schools, which the usage of "strictly" would seem to imply. At the same time, "no regulation" seems to imply a very loose leash given to religious schools. It seems to be a dilemma of legal wording, more than anything. |

| Message | The text of this law should make it clear that what is being proposed is "no extra" regulation (ie, no sever regulation). Normal regulations still apply. |
