Constitution amendment: Re-phrase second item from goals
There's a clause in the goals section of our constitution that says:
"We would like to engage with more young and educated citizens and bring positive change with their involvement."
There's a large section of our society that may not have been fortunate enough to get a formal education. The way it is worded makes it sound elitist in a way. Also given the fact that education is not an indication of intelligence or their values, why stress on it?
I believe the important part is that we engage with people that relate to our values. As long as what they say are rational and grounded we shouldn't bother how educated they are or what their age is.
So that statement doesn't make sense.
I propose it to be changed to:
"We would like to engage with individuals who believe in remaking and shaping our world to be a better place for everyone. A world where everyone is treated equally and has equal oppurtunities."
This I feel is simple and inclusive as the filter we pose is not regarding who the person is in the traditional sense such a origin, nativity, class, educational status, age etc. but what they believe in which is what truely matters.

I propose thge second item in goals from our constitution to be changed to:
"We would like to engage with individuals who believe in remaking and shaping our world to be a better place for everyone. A world where everyone is treated equally and has equal oppurtunities."
If you disagree please also state your reason to do so as it will help us resolve any issues with this proposal, that I may have missed.

I'm removing this thread to continue discussion on the old thread as scattering discussion on the same topic in multiple threads is not good.
