| Message | This is supressing freedom of religion and freedom of parents to choose the proper education for THEIR children. So long as those schools meet strict requirements there should be no problem over this. |

| Message | No it is not. No-one is born religious, alright? People only are because they surround themselvs with others who are, and because ttheir parents force them to be. Anyways, this isn't taking away people's religious rights at all. You are free to believe what the heck you want to believe, but you simply cannot start teaching kids stuff from a thousand year old fantasy book (no matter which one it is) and expect them to manage in society. That's how religious extremists from most major religions are created, as they have been growing up with that bullcrap all their lives, day in and day out, so they don't understand how anyone can disagree with them. But once again, everyone must be free to believe whatever he or she wants to believe, without restriction. Also, the current laws are discriminating towards minor religions and so on, ever heard of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster? Google it, I'm a part of it actually -_- |

| Message | That is exactly the problem. Ignorant people like you think that religious schools and religion in general brainwash people and make people unfit to live in society. Never mind the fact that religious oriented schools often score higher in education assessments when compared to secular public schools. Just accept the fact that religion is not a bunch Of kooks and the more you drive moderates away like this the more radicals are left. Stop whining about indoctrination, what if I don't wanna learn your secular bullshit? |

| Message | In any event this law won't be enforced. President Disraeli has instructed the Justice Ministry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to not enforce these laws. Religious schools will remain open and protected by the National Police Department. Further all the mayors in the cities have instructed their law enforcement departments to not execute this law. |
| Date | 22:28:06, August 21, 2012 CET | From | New Democratic Party | To | Debating the Socialist Workers Party Act V |
| Message | Your refusal to enforce this law will result in immediate impeachment, and the dissolution of the coalition cabinet. You have been given the responsibility of executing the laws of the legislatures. We will use the courts to compel local governments to comply. In any case, your statement about mayors was incorrect, given that the vast majority of them are members of the NDP or support its cause. |
| Date | 22:56:18, August 21, 2012 CET | From | Zardio Federisma Partio | To | Debating the Socialist Workers Party Act V |
| Message | Remember I have the power to appoint mayors under the Constitution so I've effectively replaced them with persons who are more sympathetic to the CRP. Plus we will not enforce measure to constrain religious liberty. Religion is as valid as the secular shit you peddle. |
| Date | 23:09:36, August 21, 2012 CET | From | New Democratic Party | To | Debating the Socialist Workers Party Act V |
| Message | OOC: We have to sort out whether the written constitution or the game constitution takes precendence. Since the game constitution has so little detail and so few options, I would support the written one more. |
| Date | 23:10:27, August 21, 2012 CET | From | New Democratic Party | To | Debating the Socialist Workers Party Act V |
| Message | Very well. If the mayors will follow your instructions, we shall see you in court. |
