| Message | We agree, it is no right of the government to enforce religion upon our citizens through prayer groups in public schools. As long as independent prayer isn't banned, this has a our support. |
| Date | 17:25:53, October 02, 2019 CET | From | Party for Capitalist Freedom | To | Debating the School Prayer Reform Act |
| Message | Why pass a law which is altogether unnecessary? This would make no difference to actual prayers on school but is just there because other parties cannot fathom non-interventionist politics. |
| Date | 21:16:44, October 02, 2019 CET | From | People's Liberation Front of Kalistan | To | Debating the School Prayer Reform Act |
| Message | How would this make no difference to prayer in school? There must be a clear separation between the church and public institutions, and this bill would solidify that divide. |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
