i agree, the feds should get out of education and the dept of education should be abolished. the federal govt involvement in education is unconstitutional.
"application to the great purposes of the public education…and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers, I suppose an amendment to the Constitution by consent of the States, necessary, because the objects now recommended are not among those enumerated in the constitution, and to which it permits the public moneys to be applied."
--Thomas Jefferson
"As a matter of fact and law, the governing rights of the States are all of those which have not been surrendered to the National Government by the Constitution or its amendments. Wisely or unwisely, people know that under the Eighteenth Amendment Congress has been given the right to legislate on this particular subject [prohibition of alcohol], but this is not the case in the matter of a great number of other vital problems of government, such as the conduct of public utilities, of banks, of insurance, of business, of agriculture, of education, of social welfare and of a dozen other important features. In these, Washington must not be encouraged to interfere."
--Franklin D. Roosevelt |
