Thanks for that note Gabz. The problem is that the Supreme Court has historically clarified that, since things like public schools are uniquely under 10th Amendment-protected state powers, Congress shouldn't even be laying taxes for public school purposes.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
In other words, Congress is arguably using state revenues to bribe the states to comply with federal policies which promote special-interest agendas imo. Corrupt Congress obtained such revenues by essentially stealing it from the states by means of constitutionally indefensible federal taxes.
Are we having fun yet?
You are not going to get an argument from me on this issue.
First of all, the Federal government has no business being involved in k-12 education to begin with. If there was no federal level Dept. of mis-Education, there would be no involvement of the USDA in cafeteria food.
