    Here are your actions...straw poll results which require supporters to get off the internet, get in a car or walk to a physical location, and punch Paul's name on a ballot.

    In the USA and Canada, elementary or secondary school supported and administered by state and local officials.

    United States

    Main article: Education in the United States

    Public-school education in the United States is provided mainly by local governments, with control and funding coming from three levels: federal, state, and local.


    So you are cool with paying state taxes to support public schools?

    I would/do support school systems run by state and local officials.

    The Federal government is not supposed to be in the business of educating our youth, they are crossing the boundries of their authority.

    Baraka asked a very important question in this thread, and I'm going to repeat it here:

    I'd encourage everyone here to reconsider baraka's question and take a stab at a response.

    If the regulations fall within the mandate of a government, then yes government have been authorized to regulate. But does public education fall within the mandate given to the US federal government?

  • Once the majority of democrats realize Ron Paul is in fact not a republican, it's a done deal.

    The word just has to get around. It's already spreading like wildfire.

    Every generation has it's revolution. The time is here.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Per the mandate of American voters, yes. Per the Constitution, absolutely not.
