Kasich Would Create Agency To Promote Judeo-Christian Values To Counter ISIS
In a speech at the National Press Club yesterday, Ohio Governor John Kasich, a contender for the Republican presidential nomination, told his audience that if elected he would set up an agency with a mandate to promote Judeo-Christian values around the world. According to the Huffington Post, Kasich says the agency would promote human rights, democracy and the freedom of speech, religion and association as a counter to the message of Islamic militants. Kasich would distribute the information to countries in the Middle East, and to China, Iran and Russia as part of the "battle of ideas" with ISIS.
