“exhorting school districts to comply with federal law”
I’ve been looking for the passage in the constitution that explains how federal law always trumps state and local law. I haven’t found it yet.
If you were to ask an old-line "Norman Thomas" Socialist where Jefferson and Madison's definition of federalism turned upside down, they would have told you - in all seriousness - "that was settled in places like Vicksburg and Gettysburg," and Appomattox.
It's perhaps telling that, when they had the chance, the post-war "Radical Republicans" did not add such language to the national Constitution, nor did they address the question of secession, for that matter.
By the time Wilson and Roosevelt were through, and when World War II ended, the courts have held a free and heavy hand with anti-federalism, using segregation as their largely undisputed high-ground, until our time where three generations have emerged virtually without knowledge of classic federalism.
Now, that's either as dead as the Roman Republic or the issue amounts to a blank slate, awaiting an opportunity.
And just wait until they DEMAND bilingual teachers, Spanish textbooks, and show just what a gigantic sponge sucking up social services they are. Thanks, Odungo. You have gifted us with illiterate, criminal, disease-infested, social services sucking worthless vermin. Your vision of the New Americans after you knock US off with ebola and enterovirus D-68.
