Bill: Education Reforming Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Sozialliberale Partei der Demokraten
Status[?]: defeated
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: May 3041
Description[?]:
| The education system of Malivia has hitherto been too focused on public schools. Private schools are essential for a competitive and fair educational system - therefore we want to liberalize the Malivian school system inasmuch as new private schools shall be built. Of course, we still support the public schools and acknowledge their importance; but there must be an pleasant and satisfactory alternative. |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
| Random quote: "The first step in freeing yourself from social restrictions is the realization that there is no such thing as a 'safe' code of conduct, one that would earn everyone's approval. Your actions can always be condemned by someone, for being too bold or too apathetic, for being too conformist or too nonconformist, for being too liberal or too conservative. So it's necessary to decide whose approval is important to you." - Harry Browne |
