Status[?]: defeated

Voting deadline: April 4410
Description[?]:
| Recognised religions, which have proven to the government that they are well-meaning and truly devoted to a peaceful religious way, should not be taxed as the usage of their money is going to a non-for-profit service which is focused on providing a meaningful community to people of different faiths. Teacher-led prayers should not be mandatory, but it is important for children to appreciate our long-standing Hosian culture and traditions, and we should want to see young people better understanding that tradition. Karine Schwartz-Dieschbourg Internal Affairs & Religious Affairs Spokesperson for the UMR |

| Message | The AAF believes school prayers are completely unnecessary in a country where our schools are open for all religions. Encouraging prayers can result in children from other beliefs not fitting in with their Dorvosh classmates. We vote NO. Kuno Rottmann Vorsitzender des Ministerrates |
