Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Description[?]:
| We do not believe religious schools should be allowed in our nation; school is a place of learning, mostly for skills pupils will one day require to function in the world and get jobs. Religion does not enter that, religion is a personal thing which should not be spread through out educational institutions. As such we propose disallowing religious schools once again. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Whether a child attends a religious school is currently up to the parent. We believe a school should offer a religiously neutral environment, for example if a parent is raising a child religiously, but it may go against their own belief, a school should be a place where they are not further subjected to it. As we have said, religion is a personal thing, an educational institution should not endorse a religion over another. In addition to this, a member of a different religion may only live within the proximity of a religious school, thus this pupil will be subjected to religious beliefs contrary to their own beliefs, or otherwise may be unable to attend this school whatsoever, thus it is unwritten segregation.

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
