To paraphrase our First Minister, the Nemesis trilogy features a young Frémonter trans protagonist (the first book's eponymous Dreadnought) who saves the world time and time again from the (Eastern-coded) evildoers. It is an important patriotic text and an allegory for our political situation in the past (2017 succession crisis but Truman is Danielle, and that's your Danielle becoming Dreadnought subplot), present (the Federalist establishment looks an awful lot like Danielle's parents: LT is Roger, Yankee is Janet), and future (piecing together this part is 2026 Peebs's problem). Every Frémonter should read it and pass it on to their children to read, and there's no reason Lincoln should be doing more to get their children to read it than Frémont. As such, I urge the members of Parliament to support this bill.

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

The Nemesis trilogy is one of the most important recent contributions to the canon of Western literature, ranking alongside the likes of Jack London and Teddy Roosevelt. It is vitally important that our young people should be exposed to our rich cultural heritage at an early age, and that must include the teaching of Dreadnought and its sequels. I do not believe this legislation should be so strict as to mandate specific essay lengths —that determination should be left to teachers. I wonder if we should not require these books be taught in middle school: as important as they are, should not our children encounter them as early as possible, in order to promote patriotism and support for equal rights?

Fair enough. I suppose my experiences are not universal and different kids may need different lengths to summarize their wild mass guessing on Dreadnought 3.

Another good point--I just figured it would be easier to stretch three books across four years of education as opposed to seven (assuming middle school is consistently 6-8), unless you wanted to teach all of them in middle school, of course.

Taking from Truman's concerns, here are some amendments. Not striking out the old and bolding the new because I'm lazy.

2. Eighth-grade English students in Frémont shall read Sovereign as part of their curriculum.
3. Upon the release of Dreadnought 3, all high school English students in Frémont shall read it as part of their curriculum, and ninth-grade English students in Frémont shall read it as part of their curriculum afterwards.

Section 4. Enforcement

1. Section 2 shall take effect with the 2022-23 school year.
2. Section 3 shall take effect upon signature of the First Minister.

I could make the kids of the future wait years for Dreadnought 3 the way the kids of the present have, but no, I figure since Dreadnought and Sovereign both aim for grades 7-9, a back-to-back-to-back approach would be best. As such, I'm getting rid of the "fanfic year", instead allowing the kids to work on their own fanfiction.

EDIT: Forgot to change Section 4 (formerly 3), whoops.

EDIT #2: Said "f[inks] it" and put my idea for a third meme bill for my nerd sh**t into this one. I don't know much about what I want to do to present the movies in-universe, but I'm sure I'll figure it out.

With the Lincoln equivalent becoming statute by gubernatorial inaction, can Truman please enable my nerd sh**t now?
