The real outrage is that the federal government has no authority to do anything at all about education, and the founding fathers would be irate at the centralized indoctrination system we have.

I understand your point of view, and sympathize with its sentiment, but actually the fedgov DOES have authority to enact legislation regarding education. See Article I, Section 8, where it can make laws pertaining to the district set aside for the national government and all other areas owned by or purchased by the fedgov. Also, Article 4, Section 3 gives Congress the power to enact laws governing federal territories and other property.
