Regardless that the RINO-controlled House has read the Constitution out loud at the beginnings of the last three legislative sessions, its not surprising that the corrupt legislative and executive branches are still wrongly ignoring that the states have never delegated to the feds the specific power to decide policy for INTRAstate schools.
In fact, note that Thomas Jefferson had promoted the idea of the states amending the Constitution to regulate, tax and spend for intrastate schooling purposes, indirectly indicating that the states have never done so.
”The great mass of the articles on which impost is paid is foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers [emphasis added].” Thomas Jefferson: 6th Annual Message, 1806.
Also note that a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clariifed in general that Congress is prohibiting from appropriating taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, intrastate schooling in this example.
”Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” - Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Remember in November! Support Trump, or whatever conservative patriots elect, by also electing a new, state-sovereignty respecting Congress that will work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support the president.
Consider that a bonus to a Congress controlled by a conservative supermajority is that Congress will be able to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
I posted this because of all the righteous anger that has been directed at No Child Left Behind. This Act was passed by a Republican House and Republican Senate. I thinks it makes the education situation a little better, if not much better, but still some ways to go before it’s ideal. It provides a better foundation to work out what the next steps should be.
Also, the White House press release was the closest thing to an article that I could find at that time.
