Did I say at some point that Ron Paul was for federal government mandates?
That's exactly what he's against.
A. Ron Paul believes schooling should be a local/state government matter, not a federal one.
B. Ron Paul does not believe in a separation of church and state.
B. Ron Paul thinks local/state govt should determine whether prayer and religion be included in schools.
C. Ron Paul thinks the establishment of religion should also be a local/state matter.
What do you think those things would all result in if you put them in a big pot of Ron Paul as president soup with a dash of Protestant?
That's right, plenty of (not all) American public schools that have pictures of Jesus right up there by the flag and Bibles by their history books. It would be naive to believe differently.
I never said he wanted to federally add religion to public schooling. And in his defense, he believes no student or person should be forced to pray. And that's nice, but apparently he also believes local govt should decide whether those same students should be forced to sit in a classroom with an idolized picture of a god they don't believe in. And that would happen without a doubt in plenty of schools across the country.
It's just funny to me. What's scary to me about Ron Paul is that everybody can think of something that, if deregulated, would benefit them and forget all the things they'd be totally against that would happen in plenty of places.
