The U.S. Constitution does not delegate any powers relating to education to the Federal government. What more need be said?
True, but she never suggested that the federal government involve itself in the issue. In fact, the only section where any level of government was mentioned, refers to school boards. "If some public school teachers are using evolution as a vehicle for atheist propaganda, that's outrageous, and a proper matter for school boards to deal with." I fail to see the point being made here.
Miss Young brought up the President. The only reason President Bush's opinion would matter is if the Federal government is in control of public education ... which, to a large extent, it is, through the leverage it exerts by imposing requirements (such as "special" education) and by granting or withholding funds, as through NCLB.
"If some public school teachers are using evolution as a vehicle for atheist propaganda, that's outrageous, and a proper matter for school boards to deal with."
This is done every day in every school all across the country, and they don't want anyone changing it.
The power to TAX is the power to destroy.
