| Message | IC: My Companions, In my belief, prayers in school should be encouraged, even if they are not religious schools. After all, we are The Holy Luthori Empire, a nation under God. With a monarch chosen to rule by God! We should encourage these moments of silences, even if they aren't exactly prayers. However, as to still permit some freedom of choice to the schools, I propose a moderate change to the system rather than a drastic one. I hope you all vote yes with me. I yield. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, While our monarch is faltered, he is yes chosen by God, but he rules with the people's will, for God has enough on his hands without having to watch over his monarchs. However, that is beside the point, for while we are a Holy Empire, we must educate our people without religion interfering, so they can understand all views and thus be able to deal with any situation that is put in front of them. I yield. |

| Message | IC: Mr. Speaker, A minute or two a day does not deprive people of an education, it does not even be a moment of prayer, maybe merely a reflection of one's day. However, due to the conflicting beliefs of various areas thats why we have this bill, to let the schools decide. Some schools come from largely religious communities, while others are from communities where religion doesn't play such a pivotal role. So I say, let the schools decide. I yield. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We support this proposal, the RCP has shown great wisdom in it. I yield. |
