| Message | Mr speaker, How would this of all things benifit our nation? |

| Message | Mr Speaker, it is our belief that the only thing that will allow our nation to advance and change as a nation. Gone are the days of the defined aristocracy and peasantry, where peasants are forced into the lower class due to education, not intelligence. Even an intellectually superior person, Mr Speaker, has no chance of learning to read, learning to write, learning to use science, or to solve mathematical equations, or write poetry or make the changes they wish to see in the world unless they are given education. It is time that discrimination due to funds and corrupt, for-profit 'educational institutions' is stopped. Only with greater education can the truth be found, and that is why, Mr Speaker, that this bill is needed. To protect our future and to safeguard our history, and to ensure that Hobrazia is truly moving forward. |

| Message | Speaker, I am sure that this government is capable of providing suitable education standards to Hobrazia and must reject this billl |

| Message | Mr Speaker, And I declare that while the aforementioned current laws are in place, this government is unable to provide decent education to all of its citizens. This must be changed. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, LPF needs to understand why each and every bill was set as it was. You should have debated all those articles first before voting for them. Like ask us why we agreed not to provide funding for private schools,well because public schools are all free so that would be a waste of government resources plus government officials would fund their private schools with more money and thats siphoning of public funds. We seek at giving the best we can in eveey sector and at the same time sealing the loopholes that might exist or occur. All these laws were more than well thought out before being passed. Thank you |
