Those, who are in opposition to the proposal maintain that if the doctrine of Confucius be adopted as the basis for moral cultivation, the teachings of Laotuz can also be adopted for the purpose. If Confucianism can be provided in the Con alitution, why not Buddhism, Christanity and Mohammedaism? They can serve the purpose of moral cultivation just as well. Again, if the clause adopting Confucian- ism as the basis of national education be included in the Constitution, it would be contradictory to the principle of religi ous freedom."
