| Message | Herr Präsident, the current system sufficiently allows for broad educational diversity, and is by no means biased towards a single culture. We see no reason for the national government to devolute these responsibilites. Anton Großfurter, MdR LBU-Kuratha Bildungsminister |

| Message | Herr Präsident, The Minister woefully misunderstands our aim here. We are NOT accusing the Hulstrian establishment of ethnic superiority in education but rather poor policies like soft discipline laws, the arbritary funding system for private schools and ultra-statism in general etc. We for example want most schools to be privately run but the LBU and friends force the statist model of education on us Kunihitos and Gao Soto at large.

| Message | Gicho-sama, How ironic that Ohara-sama conducts his anti-Septembrist rantings in the Hulstrian language instead of Kunikata. I am outraged at the suggestion that there is a significant difference in the educational needs of Hulstrian and Gao-Showan citizens. I come from Mitrania, the most multicultural Crownland of them all, and I was in a class with both Hulstrians and fellow Kunihito. I am very much incensed that Ohara-sama dares to suggest that we have a "Hulstrian" education system or that Gao-Showan ideals towards education are different and superior. Rorensu Fukuyama, MdR (HDV - Mitrania) Education Spokesperson and Deputy Leader of the Hosian Democrats |

| Message | Herr Präsident, Why the Honourable Members insist on injecting race and extremism in an education related bill is beyond us. There is no difference in education needs but there is in standards. We Kunihito, excepting of course the Hon. Member have always held to traditional modes of education while Hulstrians appear to favour more liberal, low standard ones such as the HDV has repeatedly led in the field of watering down education. I'm sure the Hulstrians feel thier educational ideas are superior, we wouldn't have political parties if we didn't think our own ideas were superior. As for Septembrism, I have no idea what he is talking of. We are a democratic, moderate and unionist party which just wants a better deal for the Kunihito minority. As for addressing the House in Hulstrian, IO say to you: Dakara nani anata ni Hosichan Mitrania sābanto. Hideo Ohara KK President |

| Message | Gicho-sama, I am not a Hulstrian and Ohara-sama should not pretend to speak for the entirety of the Kunihito people. The idea of Septembrism - of a land of two peoples, united and free, where citizens can be proud of both their shared and their distinct characteristics, is not served by the kind of far-going particularism that Ohara-sama seems to espouse with bills like these. I have many colleagues and constituents who are devout Kamist and traditionally-minded Kunihito, but also very proud of what we have created in over 250 years of post-Septembrist Hulstria and Gao-Soto. Rorensu Fukuyama, MdR (HDV - Mitrania) |
