Hardly a conservative position.

Seems to be consistent with empowering the federal government to establish weights and standards. What's the point of doing that if you don't require that people learn to use them?

There is nothing that the government can’t screw up once it gets its hands on it, education included and watching the decline of education and literacy with the increase in government interference bears that out.

The government shouldn’t be in the business of mandating anything *all for our own good*.

You can try to find excuses to try to justify it but just because you think that you have a good reason to impose your will on others doesn’t mean that you do.
