Bill: Privacy and Education Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Social Democratic Party of Beluzia
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: September 5003
Description[?]:
| Justification for each proposal: 1. Celebrities, like all others, should have protection from public humiliation by the press. 2. Invasive security checks are not necessary and waste time and effort dedicated by both security guards and ordinary citizens. 3. Charter schools are essentially private schools that are free. Normal private schools (which are not free) are allowed, but free versions aren’t. That’s illogical. 4. Religious schools (if they’re allowed) should be able to conduct teacher-led prayers, due to the fact that they’re religious schools. |

| Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
