| Message | I know religions can warp minds, but if parents want to pay for it, it's their prerogative and shouldn't be our bailiwick to remove it. |

| Message | They should not be able to pay to give their children an unfair head start in life. Let's get a little bit more equality of opportunity in this country. |

| Message | IF children get a head start from private schooling, then MAYBE PARENTS WILL GET INTO THE JOB MARKET AND MAKE MORE MONEY. THEN, WEALTH WILL SPREAD OVER TELAMON THROUGH INCENTIVE. You do not encourage wealth by making everyone poor. This can only happen through the private sector, so, PLEASE, quit trying to kill it. |

| Message | My my, the Prime Minister needs to keep control of his temper. We aren't killing incentive, we're not making everyone poor. We're making sure everyone has the same opportunity, so they start life on an equal playing field, and their success in life is thanks to their own skill and ability, not their parent's ability to pay for them to get a better education. |
