There's nothing in the Constitution about the Federal Government providing a Department of Education; in a certain sense, the entire Department of Education is unconstitutional. It should be a local responsibility for the states, if the Tenth Amendment is followed strictly.

Thanks, Ivan. I agree 100%.

Wasn't it President Carter who first established the Dept. of Education as a cabinet position? Correct me if I am in error.
