| Message | We think that religions should be free to set up schools like normal schools do. We should also leave the issue if teacher-led prayers are allowed. |

| Message | Teacher led prayer is just wrong, It forces religion on people who either aren't religious or are members of another religion. Usually one religion is more common in an area than another, So they could easily get the school to support their religion, To the utter detriment of everyone else. Many religions believe that honouring another god is morally wrong and offensive and sinful and so on. You're violating their religious freedom by forcing them to engage in acts they find morally rephresenable. |

| Date | 00:15:40, March 02, 2015 CET | From | Realism Party | To | Debating the Religious Freedom |
| Message | Sure any religion may set up a school, but you must regulate that school to ensure corruption or discrimination isn't occurring in the school, so the current policy is much more suitable. As for Article 2, you can't allow public schools to have prayers at all, because there is such an abundance of different religions, and no religions at all, so if public schools start having mandatory prayers in every class, lawsuits will be out the wazoo. |
