First it as HPV shots, then praise for Hillary's health care reform (which included a mandate), and now it's Rick Perry's 30 minutes of mandates exercise every day for Texas students.
So the rumors were true, Rick Perry really does like his mandates.
From HuffPost:
Rick Perry is big on exercise. And in 2007, he decided Texas public school students should be, too.
On Aug. 30, 2007, the Texas governor mandated 30 minutes of exercise a day for students, signing a bill that required each student to engage in "moderate or vigorous physical activity ... throughout the school year."
"This legislation will help make children healthier today for a healthier Texas tomorrow," Perry said at the time.
The mandate reflects a more aggressive view of the role of government than Perry has been sounding in his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination.
