Palin filled out a policy questionnaire for the Eagle Forum Alaska during her 2006 gubernatorial race.  One question asked, "Will you support funding for abstinence-until-marriage education instead of for explicit sex-education programs, school-based clinics, and the distribution of contraceptives in schools?"  Palin responded, "Yes, the explicit sex-ed programs will not find my support."  Yet [[public schools]] still resist teaching abstinence and instead promote sexual behavior by teenagers.

Another question asked, "Are you offended by the phrase 'Under God' in the Pledge of Allegiance? Why or why not?"  Palin replied, "Not on your life. '''If it was good enough for the founding fathers''', it's good enough for me and I'll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance."  Liberals ignore that Palin was obviously talking about how the [[Founding Fathers]] recognized and acknowledged God, and unfairly attempt to embarrass her by noting that the Pledge of Allegiance wasn't written until 1892, and the phrase "under God" wasn't added until April 1951.

Liberals ignorant of the history of "under God" have tried to ridicule Palin's remark, even calling her an "idiot" for it.<ref>http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/michaeltomasky/2008/sep/01/week</ref><ref>Liberals say that the Pledge of Allegiance wasn't written until 1892, and the phrase "under God" wasn't added until April 1951.</ref>  In fact, the phrase "under God" is from [[George Washington]] and, yes, he was a [[Founding Father]].<ref>http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/003/264xqezm.asp?pg=2</ref>
