Chambers
2 legislatures
Articles
2 changes
Rationale
1. Religious education, while optional, is present in taxpayer-funded schools. This should be changed to cut unnecessary expenses and promote critical thinking.
2. Singing the anthem in schools teaches nationalist loyalty. We seek to change that in order to emphasize individual ambition and merit.
