Santorum Opens Mouth, Inserts Foot

“Yes the government can help,” Mr. Santorum added. “But the idea that the federal government should be running schools, frankly — much less that the state government should be running schools — is anachronistic. It goes back to the time of industrialization of America when people came off the farms where they did home-school or have the little neighborhood school, and into these big factories, so we built equal factories called public schools. And while those factories as we all know in Ohio and Pennsylvania have fundamentally changed, the factory school has not.”

Amusing, given that (a) he went to Penn State, which I believe is a state-government-run school, and (b) got PA to pay for a good portion of his home schooling expenses.
