| Message | Mr. Speaker, We could agree with Article 1, but Articles 2-4 are unacceptable. Article 2 is a direct violation in what we believe is a core function of the state, which is to educate the masses, so that they may become productive members of society and be more socially mobile. Article 3 would detract from Article 1, forcing the government to eliminate works of culture that are inappropriate, despite the fact that the government funded the work. Article 4 greatly distorts educational choice. Many Jienist academies are private in nature. The current law allows private schools to teach the same curriculum as public schools, making sure that all individuals learn what is necessary to contribute to the public good. I yield. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The banning of private schools is totally unacceptable. It would would cost the jobs of many teachers. Only because of this we will oppose this bill you will not have of the General Worker's Union. We hope you can propose a more serious proposal. Sincerely, Isabel Lerga, Head of the Indralan General Teacher's Union. |
