"Children who eat less junk food attend school more regularly, behave better when they're in school and score better on tests. We all know this," the governor said, "and yet, in schools across our state, junk food is available to any child who has the spare change to buy it from a vending machine."

I love how he's making the correlation = causation mistake. Kids who eat less junk food generally have parents who are just plain better parents, thusly explaining why they do so well in other areas.

I don't expect to have access to prostitutes and drugs inside the public school!  Everything at an appropriate time and place!

Appropriate? YOU PRUDE! How dare you force your subjective preferences of 'appropriateness' on students. Strapping young lads in school need release too you know! Who are you to deny them what they need when they need it? Not to mention it would be a great way for the ladies to earn money for college - their redneck fathers certainly aren't going to give it to them, being sexist pigs because they are men! Go join the religious party, you intolerant prude! *shakes fist*
