Message | Hulstria as an Empire fives a choice to its students to go to different schools due to the the amount of different religions. Schools are all religious by nature and thus the MEP declares that it should be so that prayers are led by the teachers in all schools, obviously referring to the different religions. Religion is important and give a sense of identity to the Empire. Prayers should be mandatory and led by teachers, always. |
Date | 18:01:04, April 05, 2009 CET | From | Nationale Demokratische Union | To | Debating the Amendment to the Religious Bill of the Radicalists Movement |
Message | Public schools should be secular. If a student and/or parent wants religion in their child's education, then they can send them to private religious schools where there is prayer and the religious base. |
