A Violation of the 10th Amendment The federal role in education is a violation of the 10th amendment of the United States Constitution which states, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Nowhere in the Constitution is the federal government delegated the power to regulate or fund elementary or secondary education.

Getting the feds out of the education business would be the best thing for our country's future. If you were betting people, what are the odds that would actually happen?

Getting the feds BRITISH CROWN out of the Colonies education business would be the best thing for our country's future.

When in the Course of EDUCATIONAL events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.(4)

[…]

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these STATES, solemnly publish and declare, That these STATES are, and of Right ought to be Free TO CREATE… Independent LOCAL SCHOOLS; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the FEDERAL GOVT, and that all political connection between them and the FEDERAL GOVT, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent SCHOOLS, they have full Power to…. do all other Acts and Things which Independent SCHOOLS may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

The libs have a vested interest in keeping the feds in our schools so that they can continue to dumb down the curriculum, rewrite history, protect the teachers' unions, force -feed multiculturalism and diversity, create dependency, and maintain a high level of ignorance about the Constitution.
