| Message | I actually do agree with home schooling. If a parent wants to teach their children at home, they have the right to do so. Sometimes a school building isn't the right environment for a child. Sometimes parents are over protective. This is an answer to those two problems. |

| Message | Colleagues Mister speaker The fact that we are in a government cabinet coalition and our honorable colleagues of the PCP are trying to encourage compromises. Is there any legislation changes that the LSS wants to propose that we can support - as a counter-proposal for the education reform bill ? So we can reach a compromise. |

| Message | Nevermind, we'll vote for this bill. We do not support home schooling, but as long as controls against errant religious behavior are maintained, I will vote for this. Home Schooling is the primary method of avoiding proper education and indoctrinating children into a false belief system. Parents will brainwash their children with false deities and bad science by "home schooling". |

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
