| Message | Although we have a different agenda for this idea, the Authoritarian Party supports banning private schools. Public school is critical in the role of promoting obedience and respect for the State. We cannot allow treasonous ideas to be shoved into the heads of citizens at private schools. |
| Date | 03:44:49, December 10, 2005 CET | From | Peoples Revolutionary Party | To | Debating the Nationalized Schools for Hutori Act (NSHA) |
| Message | I just dont want these schools to think they have more rights then the public ones. |
| Date | 05:05:53, December 10, 2005 CET | From |  First Socialist Party | To | Debating the Nationalized Schools for Hutori Act (NSHA) |
| Message | No, but we should give them a choice, just make sure that there is prohibitive regulation! |
| Date | 21:16:31, December 10, 2005 CET | From | Peoples Revolutionary Party | To | Debating the Nationalized Schools for Hutori Act (NSHA) |
| Message | Private schools only create biasness and a form of sub culture, a division between poor and rich...a line that should not be there. |
| Date | 22:14:52, December 10, 2005 CET | From | Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Nationalized Schools for Hutori Act (NSHA) |
| Message | Against! But we are sure the Communists are not surprised! Why are you so afraid of choice? Also there will always be rich and poor that is the way of Terra and has been since manking climbed out of the trees. How a person spends their own money is up to them. All this will achieve will be those who can afford private education will pay teachers to educate their children in the privacy of their own homes rather than in a school. So what will you do about that? Ban education anywhere but in school? And how would you then define education! This proposal is just not realistic and unenforceable. |

| Message | Choice? Do you think people choose to be poor? Sure the rich can say they choose to be rich but if you were to ask them how they made there fortune they would say hard work...then the question would be Who's hard work? |
| Date | 22:39:05, December 10, 2005 CET | From | Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Nationalized Schools for Hutori Act (NSHA) |
| Message | YOu have not answered any of the questions we raised. |
| Date | 18:30:19, December 11, 2005 CET | From | Peoples Revolutionary Party | To | Debating the Nationalized Schools for Hutori Act (NSHA) |
| Message | The answer you seek is for me to say that Rich people deserve more choices then Poor people...well that is not the answer you will get, you will get that Education should be free and for all people and therefore the need for private schools are nonexsistent. |
| Date | 21:01:00, December 11, 2005 CET | From | Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Nationalized Schools for Hutori Act (NSHA) |
| Message | Even if the need was to be made non-existant, (and this will not achieve that by the way), those with the resources can, and likely will, still get private education. It is just that it will be carried out in their own home rather than in a large building with "SCHOOL" written on the front! |
| Date | 23:29:13, December 11, 2005 CET | From | Peoples Revolutionary Party | To | Debating the Nationalized Schools for Hutori Act (NSHA) |
| Message | Well in that case they can fund there own teaching and they wont recieve any help from the government. |
| Date | 23:08:40, December 12, 2005 CET | From | Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Nationalized Schools for Hutori Act (NSHA) |
| Message | Therefore you are defacto allowing private education. Private education by definition gets no funding from government nor has it ever sought such. |
| Date | 04:57:13, December 13, 2005 CET | From | Peoples Revolutionary Party | To | Debating the Nationalized Schools for Hutori Act (NSHA) |
| Message | or we can make it mandatory that they got to public school, seeings it is free and all. |
