Bill: Schooling reform act

Details

Submitted by[?]: Liberty Dawn

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: April 3827

Description[?]:

Mr Speaker,

What is profit it good for, one may ask? Is it exploitation of the customer? Or is it a necessity for being able to expand and to create more jobs?

We of the Liberty Dawn wants everybody to have the freedom to go to school. But we also like diversity and the freedom of choice. Instead of having for-profit schools restricted to a few privileged kids, how giving everyone the chance of going to go to a private school? These schools need to make profit, otherwise no one would ever invest in them, and they would not be able to hand tailor education for their group of students. Parents know their children best, not politicians. Unity in diversity.

David Mordechai,
Liberty Dawn Education Spokesman

Message"Wait, Amy, article 2 is stupid. Why would you subsidize education and give schools funding? How about no funding and subsidize it. We agree with articles 1 and 3 and would accept a bill with those two articles."

~Ted Johnson, Head Chairman of the LPS and Prime Minister

ToDebating the Schooling reform act
MessageGiving private schools money destroys their ability to function as a private school. They would have to meet some sort of national standards as well as function as secular institutions.

As a result it is better to keep private separate from government. Let both private and public schools exist side by side, private ones receiving no funding at all from the state. This way they can be independent in their curriculum and can have teacher-led prayers and other such things that have no place for taxpayer-funded schools.

    Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, it is the responsibility of players to ensure the candidate boxes on their Party Overview screens are filled in with appropriate names. If a player is allotted seats in a Cabinet bill and has not filled in names for the relevant candidate position, then the program will automatically fill in the positions with names which might not necessarily be appropriate for the Cultural Protocols.
