GH,

Yes it does. Those are the rights of the states not the feds . The issue is not about the value of an education it is about which is obvoius. It is about the fed government imposing it values on a community. Use sex ed for example. If your community decided it did not want sex ed in its schools the feds would with hold funding from your schools. They have no business being involved constitutionally. It should be up to the community made up of city,county and then state elctorate processes. This would ensure the schools reflected the wishes of the community it serves. This is how the constitution was designed and the republic formed. Yes we have gotton a long way from this in both parties. Yet the republicans are closer to the truth than the Democrats. Nothing like a strict constitutionalist however. Lawyers and soccer moms hate us:-)
