| Message | "This isn't a pro-religion bill. It's a moderate bill. Secularism would be banning prayer, and a religious government would force prayer. Denying the right of prayer is just as authoritarian as forced prayer. This is leaving it up to the school itself." ~Ron Rand, Head Chairman of the LCC |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
