Whenever he has a chance, RP is always sure to mention homeschooling as an example of opting out of a government program. I haven't seen or heard any of the other candidates make a point to highlight homeschooling as an example of circumventing a government monopoly. Part of my support of Ron Paul comes from simple self-preservation. I don't trust any of these others to defend my fourth amendment right and my parental rights against the State. But I thought I'd share this little vid taken at a homeschooling get-together in the recent past where Ron Paul talks up homeschooling:
Where the Sphere of Domesticity is Fired Up! And the Memory Hole Gets Stopped Up!
Although the women of the United States are confined within the narrow circle of domestic life, and their situation is, in some respects, one of extreme dependence, I have nowhere seen woman occupying a loftier position; and if I were asked... in which I have spoken of so many important things done by Americans, to what the singular prosperity and growing strength of that people ought mainly to be attributed, I should reply, To the superiority of their women.
