Based on your own description of the Northwest Ordinances, what do they have to do with education.

Answer my questions:

Do you believe that the feds should have a role in education? Do you believe that federal involvement has helped improve education?

The Northwest Ordinances were Congress' regulation of the Northwestern Territory inherited by the federal government after the revolutionary war. Part of those regulations included requiring the creation of schools.

I did not make the argument that the federal government was effective in improving education. My argument was that the Founders did not see the need for separating state and education, as the LP platform demands.
