which means government controlled

What in your education of America's history and her Constitution allowed you to conclude that the federal government owns the public school system? We the people established a government with only the specific and clearly enumerated powers outlined in the Constitution. Owning, controlling, or funding, the public school system was not one of those powers.

Congress which created the Department of Education in October of 1979. The question I posed was where in the Constitution was Congress granted the power to create a Department of Education?

I did not say the federal government- I said the government.The government,the government, hellloooo the government. Get it.

It does not matter whether it is state, local, or federal because the Constitution has been interpreted as the Supreme law of the land. So, for example, if the death penalty is found unconstitutional that applies to ALL death penalties state and federal.

Please do not waste my time with such silly arguments. You libertarian types always make these " once you let government take control of ..." (fill in the blank)specious agruments.

Just because the role of the government is perverted by a group of people does not mean government should not have a role. The idea is to make sure the government understands what its role is. It is not the choice between absence of government or total control of government. This is a spurious argumnent always made by libertarians.

BTW the author also said private as well.

Since you are such a Constitutional scholar where is Congress granted the power to create the Dept of Defense, Dpeartment of State. Where in the Constitution is Congress granted the power to create a death penalty.

Don't make me laugh. You know all about the Constitution. Are you telling me you read Madison's notes?
