According to Plunderbund Kasich gave a commencement speech to the 2000 students graduating from the ECOT public high school. However, he remarks were religious in nature and Plunderbund has the video:
YouTube
I find this totally inappropriate in an event for public school students. Is Kasich trying to win over the far right religious in the GOP?
Kasich has had some legislative proposals which should make many people uncomfortable.
On the Issues:
- Voted YES on giving federal aid only to schools allowing voluntary prayer. (Mar 1994)
- Supports a Constitutional Amendment for school prayer. (May 1997)
Then we have this---
Cleveland Jewish News (June 30, 2009):
....On social issues, Kasich said he supports teaching both evolution and “creation science” in Ohio biology classes.....
Kasich is the last person that Ohioans should look to concerning what is taught in biology classes, school prayers, and what to say in a commencement speech before public school students.
