| Message | When it comes to primary and the first phase of secondary education equality of outcome is desired by the LR, because children do not choose where they are born. This piece of legislation could marginalise whole regions and will make university acceptance processes unfair and much harder. |

| Message | We support this bill. The EFA also believe that the political education might cause indoctrination. That should be ruled out! Ludwig Kreiser (MP) EFA Fraktionsvorsitzender |
