Message | Two small things: 1) the date on the bill is backwards, and 2) it is the belief of the Blackshirts that mandatory teacher led prayer violates the civil rights of the citizens of Malivia. |

Message | I agree with yu honorable Prime Minister. Moreover this nation is built firmly in the belief of liberty, fraternity and equality to which this billl seeks to force the beliefs of others upon those who may not subscribe to those beliefs. Therefore prayers should not be mandatory in my view as President as schools are made up of various cultural and ethnic cross sections of society as we are a highly multi cultural and ethnic diverse state. Those who want to pray can do so in their own timing which the current law does not hinder such a right. Furthermore to require government approval to advertise is sort of authoritarian which again our state founding fathers is against such a type of governance and rule. Thus fellow collegues, my party and I cannot support this bill |
