Bill: Repeal of the Free to Educate Act of 4506
Details
Submitted by[?]: National Democratic Party (NDP)
Status[?]: passed
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: December 4509
Description[?]:
| At the hands of the Republican Party, the sweeping reforms in regards to the structure of universities, a standardized school curriculum, and school funding ushered in by President Gresham nearly two decades ago were silently eroded away during the Rowe Administration. Now, armed with our constitutional majority in both chambers of the national legislature, we introduce a bill to repeal the Free to Educate Act of 4506, and bring back a unified federal education system once more.
