Bill: The national anthem in schools

Voting deadline: April 4181
Description[?]:
| This is merely an issue of respect. No child should be forced to express nationalistic beliefs if they are not so inclined to, but should be obligated to show respect in acknowledgement of the nation when the song is played. It reinforces the unity between the citizens of the nation and allows younger children to learn the lyrics and become familiar with the actual culture of their nation. |

| Random fact: Any RP law granting extraordinary "emergency powers" or dictator-like powers to a government must be passed by at least a 2/3rds majority, but (like all RP laws) may always be overturned by a simple majority vote of the legislature. |
