| Message | The RPP would like to voice it's disagreements with Articles 1 & 2. When it comes to Article 1, we believe that teaching those going through puberty the risks of having sex and what exactly is going on with their bodies is important. When it comes to Article 2, we oppose a national curriculum entirely, and believe that education is best handled by local governments, and oppose taking away private schools rights to set their own curriculums in the current system. |
