Education Act 2015

A resolution to promote funding and the development of education and the arts.


Category: Education and Creativity

Area of Effect: Educational

Proposed by: Evera

Description:

- EDUCATION ACT 2015 -

1.AIM:
To make education more egalitarian and fair.

2.RESULT:
All citizens will have an economically unbiased educational experience; therefore ending social inequality in education. This will raise the standards of education and ensure that grades and national tests are a direct result of intelligence and not wealth.

3.RECOGNISING:
A. some nations are reliant on the privatisation of education to maintain their ideological preferences and values.
B. that not all nations have the economical ability to maintain a state-fund education.

4. EXCEPTIONS:

A: In regards to 'Section 3 Paragraph B': A state/nation will only oblige by this act if they have the funds to do so; therefore with this factor in full recognition: a nation will only oblige by this act if their economic rating is at or above 60/100. This will ensure that nations are not left prone to economic downfall and or recession.

B: 'Specialist Education' will remain unchanged, as specialist education comes under 'education for special needs' and 'apprenticeship schools/colleges'.

To prevent private schooling coming under 'specialist education', certain measures will be undertaken to safeguard the teaching standards of general topics so that they are of the same or similar standard of up 200 other schools in the nation.

C: 'Higher education' and 'Universities' will remain unchanged, as it is up to the state to decided if this form of education is state-funded or private by tuition fees.

To prevent private schooling coming under 'higher education' or 'universities', only citizens over the age of 16 will be permitted this form of education; special awards will be given to the younger populace if they are able to achieve this standard of education before the required age: this is fully optional and can only be implemented by the state itself.

EDUCATION ACT 2015, if implemented will enforce the 'RESULT' and outlaw private education in all forms, whether it be:
•Private/Independant/Academic Schooling
•Tutoring
•Home Schooling
•OR any other form of education that is similar to the above (see EXCEPTIONS for exceptions on this act.)

Banning private schools? And tutoring??

That doesn't make it illegal, as it still has a repeals clause. I would argue nat-sov only as the violation.

[The Dark Star Republic]

Unfortunately, Kaboomlandia is right: "one-liners" are specifically mentioned in the rules as being illegal. They shouldn't be, as that repeal (which manages to fit an argument and a repeals clause all into one line) ably demonstrates, but they are.

Well they couldn't expect to get any support if they named it "Every Child Left Behind" now, could they?

And don't forget the healthy dose of metagaming.

[Flibbleites]

And given the sheer amount of votes that voted FOR putting the ban on in the first place...

...ANY proposal wanting to REPEAL it would be futile, not to mention any uproar and subsequent dogpiling that would arise if the author even bothered to make a [DRAFT] thread first...

Yeah - I saw that. I can't imagine a piece of legislation less likely to get overturned than that one. Genuinely cannot see why you would vote against banning child pornography, even in a fictional nation state simulator game.

If I remember the debate on that one correctly, most of the opposition on it (that participated in the debate at least) was from people who thought that it should have set an age of consent.

Freedom of Sexuality Act

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights | Strength: Significant | Proposed by: New Horensian Kingdom

Description: Article 1

(A)No state shall abridge on the sexual privacy of their citizens, provided the acts involved are consensual and not incestuous or involve non-human animals.

(B)A state may pass its own legislation to protect sexual activity, if consensual, involving non-human animals or incest if it chooses to for one or both. A state may also pass its own legislation to ban such activities, one or both.

(C)Each state must pass all the necessary legislation and make all the necessary changes to keep in line with this bill.

Article 2

(A)A sexual act is to be defined as any act between two or more individuals which involve the stimulation of sexual origins.

(B)Consent is to be defined as giving full agreement to any sexual acts by and to the participants involved, unless the consent is granted by force, coercion, mistaken identity, deception, or by one with a debilitating mental illness.

(C)Each state can create an age of consent, which is to be defined as when an individual can consent to sexual activity. If a state fails to choose an age of consent, the age of majority is to become the age of consent. If a state has neither of these ages, an individual will reach both ages at the age of puberty.

(D)Individuals under the age of consent may only engage in sexual acts with other individuals under the age of consent or just above, provided the age gap is no more than 4 years apart.

(E)Puberty is to be defined as the period of development during which physical growth and sexual maturation occurs.

Article 3

(A)No nation may criminalise or regulate sexual acts between consenting individuals, as long as the individuals are not related to each other and/or do not involve animals, when practised in the privacy of one's home, or at the very least, away from public exposure.

(B)All nations are to enact legislation punishing all forms of non-consensual or invalid consensual sexual activity, regardless of the genders or sexes of the persons involved, and to treat all offenders and victims equally under these laws, regardless of the genders or sexes of these persons.

(C)No nation may pass laws that criminalise consensual sexual acts between two or more individuals of differing ranks in businesses or the military. Punishments are to be solely left to the organisations affected, and the legal system must not get involved unless it is determined that the acts performed were non-consensual or of dubious or invalid consent.

(D)Incest is to be defined as sexual acts between siblings, between parents and children, between first and second cousins, and between any grandparents (and great-grandparents and so on) and their direct descendants. This applies regardless of how these individuals are related (biological, in-law, or adopted).

(E)Non-human animals are to be defined as any animal that is not of the species Homo sapiens, or doesn't possess sapience, which is to be defined as the ability to possess human-like wisdom and abilities, including but not limited to speaking in a coherent language, acting with judgement, and the ability to possess intelligence.

Article 4

(A)No nation may pass differing ages of consent depending on gender, sex, or a sexual act.

(B)No nation may define consent in a way that denies that capability to heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, cisgender, or transgender individuals

An interesting attempt at skirting the line on the plagiarism rule. A shame about that bit about "sexual origins" instead of "sexual organs": given this allows nations to ban non-humans from having sex, it would have closed the debate on "sapient rights" fairly conclusively.

An interesting attempt at skirting the line on the plagiarism rule. A shame about that bit about "sexual origins" instead of "sexual organs": given this allows nations to ban non-humans from having sex, it would have closed the debate on "sapient rights" fairly conclusively.

What I was unfortunately unable to include in the proposal was the original introduction due to the fact that it was over the character limit. It stated that the purpose of the bill was to respond to the mistakes of the recently repealed Sexual Privacy Act by allowing nations to ban incestious acts, which was not allowed under the old Sexual Privacy Act and was the cause of its downfall.

Tell me, was there ANYTHING wrong with the Sexual Privacy Act other than the incest part? I'd rather not have nations lynch 2 men or 2 women for having sex, or a transgender man and a woman, or a man and a woman for doing something like anal. Since the SPA was repealed, it is theoretically legal for a nation to pass laws to do any of the above examples. That I will not stand for. A nation that does this and anything else to legally oppress LGBT+ individuals is no nation I will ever have a single ounce of respect for.

Finally, I will have you know that in the thread for the "Repeal the SPA" resolution, which unfortunately passed today, there was discussion of creating new legislation to replace the SPA, and the person who came up with the "Repeal the SPA" legislation suggested such.

OOC: I'm sorry if I seem angry. It's just that I get REALLY fired up, in-character and out-of-character, when it comes to LGBT+ issues for very personal reasons.

The people should not have to pay with their tax dollars to clean up a mess a company to cheap to prevent from happening or quickly repairing it when they are notified or when they see it. This proposal would protect taxpayers and would only punish companies who put profit above the taxpayers and safety of the world. If the company causes the damage you should pay for it.

Lynching is banned by the Convention on Execution, but I take the general point - which is why I hope Alqania's proposal on Sexual Freedoms eventually passes as a replacement.

Finally, I will have you know that in the thread for the "Repeal the SPA" resolution, which unfortunately passed today, there was discussion of creating new legislation to replace the SPA, and the person who came up with the "Repeal the SPA" legislation suggested such.

At the risk of being patronising: so did the author of the original Sexual Privacy Act. And it led to them writing an overly broad resolution that eventually got repealed.
