| Message | "The delegates of the Federal-Republicans could possibly support your measures to allow religious schools. However, we find it to be unwise to allow only certain schools that are under the operation of a would-be recognized religion. We must remain a secular state, ensuring logic and reason govern and not faith. It is within the right of our citizens in our view to be able to attend a religious school." "Though, the current laws do allow for children to be home-schooled. It is a fact that most children drawn out of school to be taught at home are done for ideological reasons. This is a wise position for our government to take as it does not impede upon our citizens right to express their beliefs in the privacy of their homes. If we as a government allow one particular religion special favor over another, we will be creating state-sponsored affiliations by default to a certain set of beliefs." Director D. Roberts, Ingomu's 2nd District |

| Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
