| Message | In order to remain consistent with the country's secular policies and views, I have introduced this Bill to the Assembly. Teacher-led prayers should not feature in specifically non-religious schools as it potentially discriminates against certain pupils and places religion firmly in our educational institutions. However, this Bill does allow teacher-led prayers in religious schools to ensure that parents and pupils who choose a religious-based education are satisfied. |

| 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". |
