"state Attorney General Mark Pryor argued that the Legislature, and not the court system,
should determine matters involving public school finance"

At first glance it would seem he has a valid point. The courts have only very limited constitutional ability to spend money of the public coffers. While I agree there is an issue of fairness & equity under the law, how far does the authority of the court extend? Then too, do those of greater means pay a greater % of the taxes & are there by entitled to a larger % of the government bought by those taxes - above a set base level?

A "good" Libertarian would question if the government should even be involved in the delivery of education or perhaps even the taxation required to support education.

Again a more moderate view would yield the correct answer.
