| Message | What are you talking about? This is madness! Our children must learn the teachings of Hallibutt in school! The first article cannot be passed! The second is ok, if the schools at some point learn how important it is to choose the right kind of sausage to eat during the act if the child is not going to be "defect" |

| Message | Notice that only TEACHER-LED prayers are forbidden. Students would still be allowed to pray - it's only the teachers who would be banned from trying to influence them towards a certain religion. |
