Bill: Religious Schools Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Reform Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: September 2935
Description[?]:
| The Reform Party believes that it is an outrage that religious schools of all descriptions are currently outlawed by the State, despite the enormous influence and importance religion holds in Rutania's civil society. As families are ultimately responsible for the upbringing of their children, they should be able to send their children to schools that conform with their religious views and teach in ways that they deem appropriate - for the State to deprive them of this is tantamount to usurping the natural, fundamental role of parents in raising their children as they see fit. |
