Bill: Public Education Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Dorvische Kommunistische Partei
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: June 4342
Description[?]:
| Private schools perpetuate the socio-economic divisions in society and help to ensure that class privilege cascades down the generations. We will not be able to achieve a fairer and more equal society until all Dorvish children are entitled to the same decent standard of education. Religious schools are similarly divisive and should be abolished. It is completely unfair for the education system to be used to religiously indoctrinate children. Parents can teach children about their faith in the home, if they wish, but the school should be a place where they get a rational and balanced perspective. Klaus Erdmann (General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party) |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
