You overvalue the meaning of the 10th amendment. It has never had much of an impact on American history or law. But it in no way prevents the feds from becoming involved in education.

[JamesP81]

The Founders were pretty clear when they wrote the Constitution that any power not reserved to the federal government is reserved to the States or the People. In short, if a power isn't explicitly granted to the federal government, then that power is explicitly denied to the federal government. The 10th Amendment is but one place in the Constitution where that idea is expressed.

Now, I defy you to find anywhere in the Constitution that the federal government is granted the power to pass legislation on education. In fact, I defy you to find the word 'school' or 'education' in the Constitution, at least as related to granting powers to the federal government.
