Paul: public school teachings include "so much which is totally un-American"

[Still a Democrat]

MOINES, Iowa (Reuters) – Three potential 2012 Republican presidential candidates expressed hostility toward the public school system at a home schooling rally on Wednesday in the early presidential caucus state of Iowa.

Texas Congressman Ron Paul told the crowd government wants "absolute control" of the "indoctrination" of children. Paul spoke along with Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and Georgia businessman Herman Cain.

"The public school system now is a propaganda machine," Paul said, prompting applause from the crowd of hundreds of home schooling families. "They start with our kids even in kindergarten, teaching them about family values, sexual education, gun rights, environmentalism - and they condition them to believe in so much which is totally un-American."

Bachmann said home schooling is the "essence" of freedom and liberty. "It's about knowing our children better than the state knows our children," she said.

Hmmm. My kids went to public school and I'm pretty sure I always knew them better than the state did. And really? WTF is with that lunatic Paul's list of "un-American" activities going on in the schools.

Stinky pantloads of crap I can smell all the way in Michigan. Ugh.

Really...and it's so un-American to pay your taxes.

After all,

1) those who are more educated tend to be more liberal. and

2) liberals are un-American.

ergo; school teaching is un-American.

See, that was easy.

And all three of them went to public schools.

That's funny... Ron Paul went to public high school (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_paul#Personal_life) and yet he didn't become indoctrinated. Same goes for the millions of Republicans out there that also went to public school.

So does he believe he is especially immune to it or is he just a flaming psychopathic moron?

I think we all know my answer...
