| Message | We cannot support such a proposal. Education needs to be secular. If adults wish to be religious, that's fine with us, but children should not be indoctrinated. They should be taught to think for themselves. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
