Message | We oppose this proposition. This opens the door for a multi-cultural environment, leaving little chance to maintain our very own culture. We think the current situation is as far as it should go. |

Message | What does the National Socialists fear? Diversity in the Republic is welcomed with open arms. |
Date | 06:56:33, October 10, 2005 CET | From | National Socialists | To | Debating the Secular Schools Act |
Message | In our opinion, diversity creates a sour social environment. We believe all nations originate from one people, these people are the ones that must be conserved. In this sense, their religions must also be conserved and even promoted - but not dictated for or against. We do not fear or abolish new cultures, but we will protect what is ours against potential new ones that are unwilling to accept our identity. |

Message | However, teacher led prayers do force others to follow simply because it is the original culture. Schools are a place of learning, not a place of worship. |
