After seeing the startling conclusions drawn on these boards, Walt Dixie has assigned me, Michael Malthus, to give some light on certain issues. Walt Dixie would like to stress that despite my agressive nature -he knows me too well- , you should only interpret my comments as constructive criticism. Really, all we wish to do is have the NSUN debate matters clearly and ad rem. Therefore, only sensible points will be appreciated.
I went to the current dossiers, and this is the first proposal that turned up... private schools.
Now, there is no point in this resolution.
"Where it is mandatory for the state to provide a free education for those under 18, those under 18 must not be required to accept that free education."
:arrow: Of course not. This is why the currently accepted resolutions regarding education are talking about the right to education. Nowhere does it say that this education needs to be in the hands of the government. For instance, there could be a system that states that corporations need to educate their own people; this would be perfectly in harmony with the currently accepted resolutions.
Also, there is no such thing as "Scientific Fundamentals". Try reading Laudan(1984) if you want to grasp the full backup of my claim. Scientific foundations are re-invented constantly, although of course on a slow basis. At this point, engineers are building bridges based on principles that are now questioned by physicists. Science only has contextual truths; those truths can be questioned or even proven false outside of their context.
Seeing as the additional points are questionable, and the main point is trivial, the significance of this resolution is hereby declared null and void.
Respectfully,
Michael Malthus
Minister of Communications
