NE2: Amendment to The Peace, Love, and Blessings Act (Failed)

[Barnes]

I don't particulaly see the reason for schools discussing marriage in general. It's not the state's responsibility to impart lifestyles onto its citizens - especially while they are in school when they are developing as individuals. The expecption of course being when the state has a real need to avert negative behavior that would have a dangerous impact on the safety community as a whole.

That being said, I suppose there is a case to ensure that students are informed of the actual legal situation in this issues, but I don't know if this is the proper field to do so.

We're a nearly a week behind on this bill as well. I move that we proceed to a final vote immediately.

[Barnes]

We need a speaker first

Not to be impertinent, but you were elected Speaker yesterday.

[Barnes]

Aye.

My earlier points are still held, but I also have no interest in teaching the civil and legal union of two persons to be a religious institution. That's what Sunday School is for.
