Civil+Rights


 * Civil Rights
 * The Upwards Party's policy on Civil Rights is simple - if someone is considered a human being, then they deserve the //**exact**//same rights as every other human being. This way, in the future, the vision of the party can not be distorted or changed.
 * Gay Marriage & LGBT
 * Gay marriage is a very controversial topic, but it shouldn't be. Gay marriage does not negatively effect anybody. If gays marry, it doesn't effect straight people in any way. Many people argue that gay marriage is against many religions, and should therefore be illegal. But the problem with this is that religion is subjective, and not all people have the same religion. The fact that gay marriage is against some people's religious beliefs is no reason for other people to lose their rights. In the United States, all people have freedom of religon, and no one is allowed to impose their religous belifs onto others. Because quite frankly, if you don't want to marry someone of the same gender, then don't. But that is no reason to bar other people's rights.
 * LGBT - The upwards party's policy on LGBT is that they have the same rights as everyone else.
 * Education
 * There is a wide range of the performance in US schools, and this gap needs to be closed. It is unfair to children who don't have a good school in their district or even near their district. Children need to have equal opportunities, and this goes against the founding principals of this country of equal opportunity. This would be changed by the Upwards Party if elected.
