THE OFFICALS CAN WRITE OR SAY ANYTHING REGARDLESS OF ITS MERIT, DURING MEETINGS OF CONGRESS, DEBATES, OR VOTING WITHOUT FEAR OF BEING SUED. TUITION MUST ORIGINATE IN THE SCHOOL BOARD. THEY WILL DECIDE IF TUITION GOES UP AND DOWN. THIS WAS GIVEN TO THEM BECAUSE THE FCC WAS ELECTED AND IS MORE LIKELY TO REFLECT THE WISHES OF THE PEOPLE.

THE REST OF THE ARTICLE DOES NOT APPLY TO OUR SCHOOL. THE TUTION OF OUR SCHOOL WILL STAND AS OUR TAXES. THIS ARTICLE STATES THAT ONE CLASS CANNOT MAKE AN ALLIANCE WITH ANY OTHER CLASSES, OR SCHOOLS.
