Articles

5 changes

Rationale

By taking religion and patriotism away from schooling, we can allow the state to take a neutral stance on religion, and prevent biased teaching. And by reforming justice, we can help protect Broadlanders and visitors from being tried for the death penalty or having every movement tracked.
