Description[?]:
| The Orange Party proposes creating a public school system along with the private institutions that already exist.

| Message | The Reform Party supports this legislation in its entirety. Government closer to home is always more accountable government, and local governments are more responsive to the needs of the families and communities they represent. Education is an area where the concerns of locals are of particular importance, as parents should naturally be able to have as much influence as possible over how and what their children are taught. Decentralizing government authority over education will also ensure that the federal government cannot exercise a tyrannical control over the curriculum and inject into it contentious, politically motivated subjects. |
