[SUBMITTED]Repeal "Reproductive Education Act" (John Turner)

[Araraukar]

I know this doesn't happen much in the GA, so, I hope this clears things up considerably.

OOC: Thank you for the clarification. And for the record, I wasn't protesting the finger-wagging.

As for the proposal, there's not much for me to say that hasn't been said already, except that I do get where the issue with clause 7 comes from, and I think I said as much in the target resolution's drafting thread.

Just going to note that we have received two legality challenges on this submission and we are looking into it.

It wasn't in my GHR, but can JT's telegram admitting to lying being included as evidence?

Why, yes it can. Read on.

Ruling of the Secretariat

The Honest Mistake rule, as revised, states that "factual inaccuracies, misrepresentation, or content that doesn't address the resolution" are honest mistakes and, thus, illegal. Given the author himself has admitted to a "flat out lie" in this repeal, no doubt referencing the "Perplexed" clause, this clearly constitutes a factual inaccuracy and misrepresentation, which violates the revised Honest Mistake rule. The legality challenge is GRANTED, and the proposal will be pulled from the queue.

Excellent ruling. Glad to see the honest mistake rule is being enforced again. Good job, guys.

OOC: Definitely not trying to gloat, but I think you guys don't hear this enough:

Good ruling! That was a reasonable call, and despite me having no personal issue with the proposal, I appreciate the moderators taking the time to write a ruling that was both reasonable and conscious of the GA forum's feelings towards the Honest Mistakes rule.

[Imperium Anglorum]

Title change from [SUBMITTED] to [DRAFT]?

I'm locking this now, as John Turner is DOS.
