| Message | With regards article 2 we should encourage political education in secondary schools through citizenship classes to teach young people about civic society and the role that each person can play in their local communities which can lead to a happier more prosperous Kirlawa. With regards article 4 sexual education is extremely important no people to learn about however we in the SDLP recognise that there are some parents that would rather their children learn about sexual education at home rather in a school setting thus allowing an opt out clause for individual students. |

| Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
