To strengthen civic unity and critical thinking, we must replace passive secularism with optional anthem participation and address religious indoctrination harmful to children's development and social cohesion.

Proposed Changes

National Anthem in Schools
Previous law
No anthem in schools (civics taught without ceremonies)
Weekly assembly anthem (participation optional)

2

Religious Education in Schools
