| Message | This would detract from the quality of education that is expected from Likatonian educational institutions. |
| Date | 18:02:25, February 02, 2006 CET | From | Proletariat Revolution Party | To | Debating the Freedom of Religious Education |
| Message | (on the grounds of being deregulated; not based on choice). |
| Date | 19:33:07, February 02, 2006 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Freedom of Religious Education |
| Message | AMA opposes unregulated education. The education of the next generation of Likatonia is TOO important to leave to the caprices of random syllabus proposals. |

| Message | If 'quality' were a measurable concept, we might agree. In our opinion, one man's quality is another mans errors; therefore we feel that the schools set up by religious bodies should not be forced into cookie-cutter molds set up by the bureaucracy. At no time would we advocate the non-regulation of the public schools. |
