| Message | Free Education comes at a burdensome cost to all Rutanians. We see this is only equality in spreading the unneeded burden to the Rutanian populace and in taking away the freedom to choose. |

Would like to hear the Minister of Education, Harry Orwell thoughts on this matter of education. Iain Angel Imperium Party Leader |
