| Message | I do not support indoctrination forced onto the minority both religiously or secularly. Freedom for just the majority is not freedom at all. |

| Message | If parents choose to send their children to a Catholic school for example, why can't there be any prayers within the school? The children already are Catholic, so this isn't about indoctrination at all. If the proposal stated to imply prayers to all schools we would agree with you, but we think people have the right to choose the education they want for their children. |

| Message | How can you support indocteration of something that has no evidence to support it? I am suprised a fellow Green Party is embracing the brainwashing of children who are easily persuaded, Faith is a personal choice, dont let the state influence this choice. The state must simply teach what is true, and teach about other faiths but not teach them as fact. |

| Message | I agree that public schools have to remain prayer free, but this Act isn't ment for public schools, which MUST remain prayer free, but for 'private' schools such as Catholic and Islamic schools. These schools must have the right to pray. |

| Message | The Draconic Party encourages the stimulation of spiritual developement among the youth of Kirlawa. We believe that private schools should be allowed to practice spiritual rituals as they see fit. We object against the suggestion of the SPQK that there would be no regulations concerning private schools at all. |
