I liked Ron Paul, until I got into the education part of his plans.

I can see, under his views, parents not educating their kids at all. They could take the money he gives to parents for home schooling and spend it on drugs/alchohol.

"I will veto any legislation that creates national standards or national testing for home school parents or students. I also believe that, as long as No Child Left Behind remains law, it must include the protections for home schoolers included in sec. 9506 (enshrining home schoolers’ rights) and 9527 (guaranteeing no national curriculum)."

I don't like it at all. That alone has the possibility to lower the [i]literacy rate[i] of our country. Currently, there is nothing holding parents back from educating their kids at home at a quicker pace, but with his new plans there will be no legal standards for education.
