| Message | We oppose segregation of kids based on their parents religion in education, point blank. We also totally oppose forcing kids to pray if it goes against their conscience. The right of kids to learn together, and have freedom to refuse is fundamental to a liberal society. We will not and cannot compromise on these points. We fundamentally can't vote in favour due to this. -President John Bell, CUP |
