| Message | we can't support this unfortunately, there is just too much danger of abuse on the part of the teacher. leave religion out of the classroom and keep it elsewhere. but that is not to say we do not support letting children pray if they want to, we definitely think that if during recess or part of lunch etc., children want to pray they should have some private place to do that. |
| Date | 22:31:07, June 17, 2005 CET | From | LibCom Party | To | Debating the Grand Reform of Schools Phase II |
| Message | We're in agreement with the FRP for once. Schools must be open to students of any religion. Teacher-led prayers would only alienate those who don't happen to share the teacher's faith. But we should certainly provide facilities for students to pray if they wish to. |

| Message | Plus, we would rather we not waste class time like that. |
| Date | 06:38:58, June 21, 2005 CET | From | Protectorate Party | To | Debating the Grand Reform of Schools Phase II |
| Message | This bill does not go far enough and we will be presenting a new version as part of the new platform of the Protectorate Party. Those who vote against it and its sucessor should look at how our youth's morals have declined over the years, and consider how a well respected teacher can bring their students back in line with some well considered prayer. |
| Date | 10:18:03, June 21, 2005 CET | From | Leviathan Party | To | Debating the Grand Reform of Schools Phase II |
| Message | Has the PP begun embracing theocratic fascism now? Moral decline? Code for secular culture, and we all know how bad those secular people are. |
| Date | 18:21:53, June 21, 2005 CET | From | Protectorate Party | To | Debating the Grand Reform of Schools Phase II |
| Message | We do not feel that teaching the future generation morals can be described as fascism. Furthermore if the LevP thought we where speaking in code we will try to be more clear in the future. Yes the moral decline is caused by the secular culture created in Malivia by the current government. Only by bring religion back to the front, so that is well established and in the front of every citizens mind can we have hope that are nation will not fall as so many other secular institutions have. We urge the members to consider the future of our nation and change their vote to support such an act. IT will be a sign of great courage for the parties to realize that our current system in fundamentally flawed and most be rewritten from the ground up. Thus we should start with the future, and change our educational system. |
