| Message | Choice? private is only an option for the wealthy, so choice is already banned for most people. The bill will only see to that your amount of money will not affect the quality of your education. VOTE YES |

| Message | But choose between private and public is a choice! And I thought you were for equality? So why deny one group the right the choice because of an unfounded hatred of those richer than you? And not all wealthy go to private schools, mind you! In fact, there are many in the middle class who go. |
| Date | 05:33:23, June 14, 2005 CET | From | Alliance for Natural Law | To | Debating the Schooling |
| Message | If anything we should deregulate the schools somewhat and provide charter schools. We don't support vouchers, but private schooling should be an option. |
| Date | 03:28:23, June 15, 2005 CET | From | Social-Liberty Party | To | Debating the Schooling |
| Message | Instead of taking away the option of private schools, I would support making it possible for people NOT wealthy to attend private schools |
