| Message | Mr. Speaker, I dare say that, on behalf of actual Socialist's, it seems that my friends in the Majority have drunk the kool-aid in return for power. When did it become the business of this government to fund private institution's? We must turn back from this horred path. and instead embrace a brighter future. I long for the day when all our children can state they are free from the fascism of privatized education, and can breath the air of liberty. I yield. |
