Santorum Calls For-Federally empowered political commissars to CONTROL our children's education!

RICK SANTORUM:

Just like we have certifying organizations that accredit a college, we'll have certifying organizations that will accredit conservative professors. If you are to be eligible for federal funds, you'll have to provide an equal number of conservative professors as liberal professors.


RICK SANTORUM:
We're going to repeal all sorts of regulations ... that inject the federal government into the area of education.

this is just mind boggling.

I knew the guy was nutty and a cretin but this stuff ... you just can't make this stuff up!

any TRUE "small government" republicans should get whiplash if they listen to this ... and then they'll be running for the hills ... or the Ron Paul campaign, maybe.

I guess he didn't get the memo which says that affirmative action is an insult to the people it's meant to help because it implies they don't have what it takes to make it on their own.

Where will the anti-war, liberal generals in the DOD be? Along with the pro-alternative energy thinkers in the DOE? etc. I thought so.

Santorum is advocating the pattern of injecting "conservativism" into all parts of the countries in the name of balance or "equality."
