Description[?]:
Dear members of the Knesset, in order to increase the quality of our education system we believe it is the right choice to give schools the chance whom they want to have in their school. Additionally it should also be right if we privitaize our education further: The state does have no place in education. Ezechiel Straus, minister for education |

Message | As the Chair of the Party Committee on Education and Culture, I would like to note my vehement disagreement with the proposed legislation. Not only does it not provide a needed public option for education, but it further politicizes the issue of education itself. Children should learn about their world, but not through the political viewpoint of a certain ruling elite. Furthermore, I would like to note that the current party is showing, yet again, its thinly veiled pursuit of self interest, to the detriment of the working class.

Random fact: When your party holds the foreign affairs department, you can create new treaties. However, before writing anything new, it is a good idea to search for existing treaties which already accomplish what you desire. |
