| Message | Religious schools are not about freedom, they're about brain washing. The school system should be impartial so that the children can make up THEIR OWN MINDS. In a religious school that is not possible. |

| Message | Secular schools also brainwash children, as teachers in these schools will almost always be biased against religion. It is better to allow boh to operate than to allow one system to gain complete access to the minds of children. |
