The end, my ass. Typing that does not confer any sort of authority either intellectual, historical, or factual.

Try reading the letters that passed between the Founders before, during, and after the compilation and ratification of the Constitution. You will discover your error.

There is no "enumerated powers" in the Constitution. There are enumerated Rights, but not powers. The "powers" are invested in the Congress, which can make laws that do not conflict with rights. Schools simply do not conflict with the Bill of Rights.

No end. You are free to continue this discussion. Please do so with facts, not personal declarations.

It’s a distinction without a difference. Schools aren’t on the list, then they aren’t on the list. Article I, Section 8 is not very long.

The Bill of Rights is irrelevant here, it’s the rest of the Constitution that’s at issue. Schools are something that belongs not even to the states, but to the people and families. There’s no need for government of any kind in this business. There’s no benefit to welcoming poisonous government into the mix, you have done this purely voluntary.
