The original premise of a constitutional republic is that the people be reasonable.

Reasonable people are not isolationist. However, reasonable people do disagree.

I don't want homosexuals wearing riding chaps without underwear wandering around my neighborhood. (I've seen this in San Fransico) That's why I don't live there.

I don't want "free love" hippies writing "free love" laws that FORCE me to wear a daisy in my hair.

What is reasonable to me, may not be reasoanble to you. But we would agree on 90% of common sense. That is what reasonable people are. Neither one of us would microwave a kitten for 10 second to see what it does (I've known people who did this too).

So, because we have in theory, a constitutional republic, the federal goverment should have no say in local law pertaining to public education.

Which of, evolution or creationism, is correct is irrelevant. The local people have to be allowed to decide what their children learn. Simply because they are responsbile for their children's upbringing, not the federal goverment.
