Schools are a STATE function. What doesn’t she understand????
She’s a democrat which means in her worldview EVERYTHING is the Federal government’s business.
You tell me how the First Sasquatch changed our school lunches then!
EVERYTHING is a Federal function. States are just a level, positioned to pass down your master's orders...
School days in Japan are long. Six days too. Special tutors on nights and weekend’s. High school graduates in Japan blow away every time....USA college graduate kids. .....just saying.
I lived and owned a design firm in Tokyo. 10 years. Plus 5 years in Morioka. I think I qualify as a very knowledgeable lad regarding this subject matter.
What she doesn’t understand is that there are 50 states and there’s something called federalism and also the constitution
Good point!
Misguided Sen. Harris evidently doesn’t understand that, instead of becoming a lawmaker in the constitutionally limited power federal government, the states having never given the feds the express constitutional power to stick its big nose into INTRAstate schooling, she should have tried to get herself elected as state governor or lawmaker.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
As a leader in the state government, she could experiment with her schooling ideas under 10th Amendment-protected state powers, depending on what parents of California school children actually want.
Justice Brandeis had put it this way.
"It is one of the happy incidents of the federal system that a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose [emphasis added], serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country.” —Justice Brandeis, Laboratories of democracy.
(Note that constitutional limits on states as laboratories of democracy is that states cannot establish privileged / protected classes or abridge constitutionally enumerated rights, and must maintain a constitutionally guaranteed republican form of government.)
Remember in November 2020!
MAGA! Now KAG! (Keep America Great!)
Anyone remember the Schoolhouse Rock "I'm Just a Bill" cartoon? Didn't it have the federal government making traffic laws for local school buses? Just warming the kids up for the death of federalism.
Just think of Treasure of Sierra Madre...Harris saying, “Constitution??? We don’t need no stinkin Constitution”
Of course every Dem believes this too.
