Description[?]:
| Honorable Colleagues, We hereby want to reach a consensus concerning our 'Nations Cornerstone Agenda' including the following points: XVI. We demand that every diligent Likaton citizen is to be provided with decent education in order to fully develop its personality. Therefor the statement of the intention of our educational system needs to be adapted to the needs of our Nation. Poor or low-class families need to be able to get free education. XVII. The government needs to maintain the good health of our Likaton citizens by protecting women and their children, child labour needs to be prohibited! Sport facilities need to be stimulated financially. This agenda does not include every point with the reason that all those matters can be evaluated properly. |

| Message | The PP wishes to make it known that this legislation would effectively ban religious schools because they aren't private. |

| Message | Response to the PP - of course, while it MIGHT be true that religious schools are CURRENTLY not public, they may well be able to aply for a 'special exemption' under new law. Indeed... the AAS can see how the Likatonian government could grant some Faith Based Schools, public-STATUS, while still allowing them religious autonomy. Just worth thinking about. |
