| Message | Mr. Speaker, There are no facts present in this debate for any logical thinking Leader to agree with. The statement on top is very bold, and there are no facts to support it (as usual from arch-conservatives). |

| Message | Mr Speaker, the the best universities in the world are predominantly run by the private sector. The same goes for schools. Personally, I attended both public and private schools, and private schools are far superior. Is it not a common fact that when parents have enough money, they send their children to private school? Why, there are even some cases when parents sacrificed a sizeable portion of their income just to give their child what is called a "good education". Why do these parents risk financial ruin when affordable public schools are readily available? It is because public schools are junk and are never run properly. The whole system is dishonest. Using ratings and awards they devised, public schools rate themselves highly so as to fool taxpayers into thinking they do well. The fact is they don't. The less money given to the charlatans who perpetrate these scams, the better. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, I have also attended schooling in both the private and public sectors, and the only differential is money (obviously) and and a fanatical interest in the promotion of religion. This removes the purpose of education. I did not pay to learn about religion, down to the worst detail. I paid to learn (supposedly at a superior level), and it was exactly the same curriculum. Schools in the public sector allow civilians to keep money in their pockets, and allow all the chance to learn. This is simply a no-brainer. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, public schools do not allow civilians to keep money in their pockets. The money used to run them came from somewhere, and it comes from the pockets of civilians some of whom do not even have children to send to school. Private schools differ in nature. Public schools don't. They're all bad and everyone is forced to pay for their existence. When private schools are bad, people don't pay for them. Obviously, this will make private schools more effective. |
