| Message | Herr Talman, How do you plan to fund this change? If we make all of the schools public, the current budget will not be enough. The Socialist parties as so blinded by their "equality" and "free" nonsense that they don't see the whole picture. When this bill pass, the educational system will eventually crumble and break down. |
