Bill: On Media and Education
Details
Submitted by[?]: Guds og Konges Kjemprene
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: April 2348
Description[?]:
| Art. 1: I see no dangers in allowing home schooling. We would test those children too to see if they are on normal niveau. Art 2: This is to privatise higher education, private works better. Art. 3: Same as 2 Art. 4: If the museum is important, it can be run private. If it isn't, I don't see why the government should spend anything on it. Art. 5: This is to privatise pre-school education, private works better. Art. 6: Like 2 and 5, but we can't do this as radically as the other ones. Art. 7: That's for the schools to decide, I don't think it is that important that there should be an obligation. Art. 8: There's already a law that says that pornography is only allowed in nighttime, so I don't see why any kind shouldn't be allowed (which of course doesn't include such crimes as child pornography). |
