        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kanye West, the billionaire rapper and <strong>long-shot White House hopeful</strong>, announced his 10-point presidential platform that includes restoring prayer in classrooms, reforming the police, seeking racial justice in the courts and promoting &#8220;Creativity and the Arts.&#8221;</p><p>West, who launched his presidential bid on July 4 under the &#8220;Birthday Party,&#8221; punctuated each of his 2020 presidential plans with his interpretation of biblical phrases on his <strong>campaign website</strong>.</p><p>The list begins with &#8220;Creating a Culture of Life&#8221; and calls for restoring faith and reviving the &#8220;Constitutional commitment to freedom of religion and the free exercise of one&#8217;s faith.&#8221;</p><p>West, 43, said that would be &#8220;demonstrated by restoring prayer in the classroom including spiritual foundations.&#8221;</p><p>The &#8220;Jesus Walks&#8221; singer included a biblical phrase from Psalm 78:4 &#8211; &#8220;We will not hide the truth from our children, but will declare to the next generation His praises and wonder.&#8221;</p><p>West, who is <strong>married to reality-show star Kim Kardashian</strong>, said he would provide leadership to &#8220;restructure our country&#8217;s education system to serve the most at-risk and vulnerable populations&#8221; and called for the &#8220;widest possible range of educational and vocational paths to job opportunities and career success.&#8221;</p><p>The rapper, who met with President Trump in the Oval Office <strong>to discuss criminal justice reform</strong>, said he would reform the legal system to &#8220;prove true justice, equitable for all citizens, regardless of race or ability to defend oneself in court.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;There will not be differing weights and differing measures,&#8221; he wrote, citing Proverbs 20:10.</p><p>On police reform, West called for policing that &#8220;treats all Americans the same, regardless of race, color or ethnicity,&#8221; while urging police to focus resources on &#8220;real crime.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;Eliminate federal sentencing guidelines that tie the hands of judges, resulting in ridiculous sentences for the most minor offenses,&#8221; part of the platform said.</p><p>On foreign affairs and national defense, West said he backs putting Americans&#8217; &#8220;best interest first&#8221; and &#8220;project strength, not aggression.&#8221;</p><p>He said he opposed sending the country&#8217;s young men and women to &#8220;foreign quagmires that do not advance our national interest, and which last for decades.&#8221; Adding, &#8220;Through God we shall do valiantly. Psalm 60:12&#8221;</p><p>He supports using faith-based groups to provide &#8220;local services&#8221; and suggested, &#8220;Creativity and the Arts can be an important source of innovation and development of other national strengths and resources.&#8221;</p><p>West faces a difficult road ahead in his presidential bid because his campaign has already missed deadlines in a number of states <strong>to appear on the ballot</strong> &#8211; making it unlikely that he would be able to amass the delegates to win the race.</p><p>In an interview last month in Forbes, <strong>West said he was no longer a supporter of President Trump</strong>, saying he&#8217;s &#8220;taking the red hat off.&#8221;</p><p>He also said he wasn&#8217;t bothered by the notion that his campaign would pull black votes from former Vice President Joe Biden and ultimately help Trump.</p><p>“I’m not denying it, I just told you. To say that the black vote is Democratic is a form of racism and white supremacy,&#8221; he said.</p>]]></content:encoded>
