| Message | Members of Congress I wholeheartedly agree with this bill. There are sufficient plans in place to ensure a non-bias political education - which is absolutely necessary. In addition to article 1, article 2 serves a very necessary purpose. Many parents and pupils wish to opt out of sexual education for a variety of different reasons, such as religion or coitophobia. These reasons should be respected and I am glad this bill gives sufficient provisions to accommodate for them. Brian Burgmuller Leader of the Republicans |
