| Message | We will have to vote against this as we see it as very important that curriculums include regional influences. |

| Message | While devolution of education is a nice idea on paper, it rarely works in reality. We support this bill. |
| Date | 16:19:13, July 22, 2019 CET | From | Wohlwollende Monarchie-Partei | To | Debating the Education Reform Act |
| Message | We see your point, but counter that this bill does not mean that children of certain city cannot be taught regional history and wildlife, only that a standard be set for math, science, reading, and other topics. This insures that if a child from the center of Karlborn receives as good an education as a child from rural Julich. This will prevent schools from not teaching important information, and help students moving large distances between schools not be ahead or behind. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
