Ron Paul on the Public School System

August 26, 1988 http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.... Watch the full interview: http://thefilmarchived.blogspot.com/2010/09/ron-paul-on-running-for-us-presid...

Ron Paul has recently asserted that he does not think there should be any federal control over education and education should be handled at a local and state level.

He opposes the federal No Child Left Behind Act, voting against it in 2001 and remaining opposed to it as an ineffective federal program. Paul has proposed the use of education tax credits, included in his bill the Family Education Freedom Act (H.R. 612), which provides a $3,000 tax credit to families to choose their own schools. He has also introduced the Education Improvement Tax Cut Act, which would provide for a tax credit for up to a $3,000 donation to the public or private school of the taxpayer's choice, which would provide accountability and more money to America's schools from a local level. Paul has also proposed tax credits of $5,000 per year for each family, which could be used for any school-related expenses, whether the children of the family attend public or private school or are home-schooled.

@TerryComo2010 I won't deny that that's probably true, but soon enough when the economy falls to pieces, China comes for their money and things get depression ugly, people will be calling for Obama's head on a plate and Ron Paul will become a legend for decades or centuries to come. People thought Winston Churchill was nuts at first for raising the alarm about Hitler.

@TerryComo2010 So in other words, you want to try what failed over and over again through the 20th century- a state where everyone is taught the same curriculum by the government which is decided by the government and everybody is to love and obey the government and believe what the government says? Because that's what you have now and many of you yanks have become fat, stupid, lazy, unproductive warmongers. The internet is saving you with Ron Paul.

And this is exactly why this clown will get last place in EVERY race that he's in.

Give it up, Ron.

@KiraJenLove YOU want to Pray and read the Bible, then go to church. Don't force your religious crap down my children's throats.

@PacifistPigeon

That would be 0 for both. And with my years of experience of talking to dumb conspiracy theorist brits, they have no clue how the US government works. They think the US presidet is like the King of England.

@taledarkside

I wonder how much the average American knows about the political system in the UK compared with what the average British people knows about the political system in the United States ... hmmm

@MzKGeneration

then you don't know crap because you live in England. US president isn't the most powerful person.

you foreigners should educate yourself before making assumptions.

[MzKGeneration]

@taledarkside people are, but i live in england so the laws might be different here, but i still care who the president of america is because they will become the most powerful person in the world. But with or without the drugs thing anyone who opposes israel is worth voting for

@danielc121162 That's why we need better education.

[danielc121162]

@Charlie12241 that is what we have, uneducated police, for sure teachers aren't much better. the majority of doctors are educated, because they make sure they are, or they won't be doctors. and lawyers are officers of the court and are not necessarily a good thing to aspire to be.

People who use drugs are not punished. Are you sure you are not a conspiracy theorist, because you lack understanding on who goes to jail.
