| Message | Herr Speaker, Anti-Democratic? You have proposed something that is at the very core of every Dorvish citizen and that is democracy. Home schooling is fine, medical issues and other things might require a young child to be home schooled to keep away from ridicule and being made fun of. Remember children are cruel. Sigmund von Dreschler, Party Chairman of the DKB |

| Message | I don't see how the DP manages to link schooling to democracy, but we at the DR believe that it is every citizen's right and own liberty to decide where they get their education. That may be on our Dorvisch schools, in foreign schools or at their very own houses. That is every citizen's liberty and as a government we have nothing to do with that. - Gustav Horch, Party President of the Dorvische Republikaner |

| Message | DKB, so you'd give into the bullies and shun certain children? Teachers are responsible for ensuring those with irresponsible values are challenged. This must happen at school, and not be reinforced by outdated ideas that some children are of less value. DR, there must be equality of opportunity, otherwise those with more money will buy a better education. That is anti-democratic and means an elitist system will continue to exist in which the few benefit at the expense of the many. |

| Message | Herr Speaker, I believe you are misunderstanding my point. Children that have diseases or illness that do not have specialized schools can be home taught, it would be wise of the parents and for the mental health of the children to do so. This is in no democratic it is merely protecting the children. Sigmund von Dreschler, Party Chairman of the DKB |
