Local control is what’s getting us Blue States with a large electoral population. Local control is almost universally Democratic control because CONSERVATIVES REFUSE TO BECOME TEACHERS. A Republic, if you can keep it... remember that remark? Well, you can’t keep it if you leave the hand that rocks the cradle to the left, and that is exactly what conservatives have been doing.

You really need to re-read the history of the founding of this country and the Federalist/Anti-Federalist papers.

There were very good reasons for limiting the power of the Federal Government and those reasons exist as well today.

Furthermore, add in the fact that the communists/socialists/progressives have been thirsting for Federal level control of education all along, and your position becomes a very weak one.

Our Founding Fathers apparently never imagined that conservatives would leave education to the liberals. But we have done that. And now we are reaping the roosting chickens, if you get my meaning.
