***A Box of Jelly Donuts, being necessary to feed Elvis***
I like the way Charlie Reese said it years ago..
“A well educated elite, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to become educated shall not be infringed.”
Does this mean that ONLY the elite can be educated?
Interesting question. Considering the state of much of public education, and the fact that the wealthy send their kids to private schools, the writer might indeed have meant exactly what YOU interpreted. ;o)
“Does this mean that ONLY the elite can be educated?”
No. And it wouldn’t mean that only Elvis could eat jelly donuts.
Bottom line is that it doesn’t matter the reason given for the right. It only matters that it is a right.
