| Message | Fellow members of congress, this is obviously a law that in its current state is unfair; however, this is not the best way to adjust it. Rather than funding both charter and religious schools, we believe that the government should stop funding any private school. The government should do its duty in funding a competent public education system, but it doesn't need to expand its funding to any sort of private school. Private schools should be self-run and self-funded with no assistance and minimal regulation by the government. |

| Message | I disagree entirely, a private school should be funded in the cases of textbooks and proper items needed, but the actual funding of the school itself is wrong, I suggest strongly you help pass this bill. |

| Message | Why should the government fund private schools. The reason that they are called "private schools" is because they aren't run by the government. If they aren't run by the government then it makes no sense for the government to have to fund them. |
