| Message | oh damn if someone told I was being a communist I would have stopped .... *looks at name* .... no wait actually I wouldn't have. An Imperial and a Nationalist are certainly interesting pair to be talking of liberty. Privately funded education creates a sliding scale of education depending on the wealth of its students , richer people get a better education and thus have an unfair advantage due to no merit of their own , and the meritocracy you love so dearly goes down the hole. State funded education can provide a standard level of education to all students without any teacher drain from the disproportionately rich private sector. |

| Message | This bill is about protecting the liberty of our citizens by ensuring the education system remains under the democratic control of the people and is not being run in a dictatorial way by some greedy fat cat corporation for their own financial gain. |
