From kindergarten to graduation I went to public schools and I know that they are a key to being sure that every child has a chance to succeed and to rise in the world.

I have no problems with private schools. I graduated from one and so did my mother. Private schools are useful and we often use public funds to pay for their infrastructures and other common needs.

You must realize that honorary degrees are given generally to people whose SAT scores were too low to get them into schools the regular way. As a matter of fact it was my SAT scores that led me into my present vocation in life comedy.

Some go on to trade schools or get further training for jobs they are interested in. Some go into the arts some are craftsmen some take a little time out to travel and some start their own businesses. But our graduates find and work at what they want to do.

Earlier today Arnold Schwarzenegger criticized the California school system calling it disastrous. Arnold says California's schools are so bad that its graduates are willing to vote for me.

When a nation is over-reliant on one or two commodities like oil or precious minerals corrupt government ministers and their dodgy associates hoard profits and taxes instead of properly allocating them to schools and hospitals.

We believe in government involvement that leads to independence: good schools quality roads and the best health care.

You know it's ironic to me that Christians want to keep the Ten Commandments in our schools because Christianity has abrogated four of the Ten Commandments. For example the Sabbath day according to the Ten Commandments is Saturday not Sunday. And the reason is because God rested not because Jesus was resurrected.

The foundation for future prosperity is built on the bedrock of good jobs and great schools. We are building a strong foundation one job at a time and one educated Texan at a time.

The future is built on brains not prom court as most people can tell you after attending their high school reunion. But you'd never know it by talking to kids or listening to the messages they get from the culture and even from their schools.

It's really important to say this. Often the faith schools were founded before the state provided education. I want good education in this country so I'm not going to slag off faith schools. I think that it's important that people of different backgrounds and different faiths go to school together and many faith schools do that.

But how odd that in this heathen nation of empty pews where churches' bare ruined choirs are converted into luxury loft living a Labour government - yes a Labour government - is deliberately creating a huge expansion of faith schools.
