NSG Senate Chamber: I came, I saw, I cleaned up after myself

[Valluto]

I will ABSTAIN. Though I support the overall idea of the bill, I'm opposed to the regulation of private schools' religious policies. I have great respect for Senator Shadak and his heart is in the right place, but I cannot vote for this bill.

[Unicario]

Aye

*Talks on his phone as he notices a vote is occuring, and continues to do so until it is his turn.*

[Murkwood]

Nay.

Bit harsh, Mr. Speaker.

"I'm a little confused, are you talking about classes based on teaching the "one true faith" according to the school. Or about mandatory religious education that teaches about all faiths in a secular manner? Or maybe both."

"I wont speak for the senator but in context of the bill, its the former. The original debate arose out of clause 6j which prohibits mandatory religious ceremonies/ speeches; which was correctly stated to prohibit teaching of one 'true faith'."

Yes I was referring to mandatory classes that taught "the one true faith." I have no problem with classes that would teach about all faiths. In fact, that is a very good idea, in my opinion.

OOC: Sorry that it took me so long to respond

"If they do not want to be taught something, then they should not go to that school. It is as simple as that. No one is forcing them to choose a religious school."

One of the most common reasons why parents send their kids to private school, is because the public school system in their district is not very good. However, as I am sure most people know, most private schools are very expensive, leaving parents' the only choice of religious, particularly Catholic, schools. Attending religious school could be some children's only chance to get a decent education. Religious classes should not be mandatory as shown by the above.

If they do not want a religious education, they should not attend a religious school.

[Collatis]

If they do not want a religious education, they should not attend a religious school.

Sometimes that is their only option. Remember, religious schools can still have religious classes, just not mandatory ones. Is there any reason why they ought, or need, to be mandatory?

[Battlion]

Faith should not determine whether a child can go to a good school...

Religious schools are for religious education. If a place is a religious school, it must mandate religious education.
