Bill: The Freedom Of Choice Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: United Founder's Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: November 3740
Description[?]:
| Forbidding prayers in Public schools take away the rights of the religious who cannot afford the luxury of private schools and the word 'Forbidden' means it is against the law to pray in schools. That is not morally right. Also this puts the teacher, who may be religious, in a horrible situation that may bother their conscience, so the UFP proposes we do not 'FORBID' prayers but rather give the schools the option. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The government's policy with respect to prayer in schools.
Old value:: Teacher-led prayers in schools are forbidden, except in religious schools.
Current: Teacher-led prayers in schools are forbidden, except in religious schools.
Proposed: The government leaves this decision up to the schools themselves.
