Description[?]:
| Mr. Speaker, Our Hosian faith is the corner stone of our society. We draw strength out of the knowledge that our Lord is watching over us. We must protect this faith by giving it room to grow and help communities bind together, not tax it and limit it. We must also not limit prayers but let schools decide for themselves if they wish to let teachers pray for their students. These reforms are fair for a moral society. Pieter-Jan de la Rey Minister of Education & culture |
