The Tenth Amendment leaves the decision to fund education up to the states because the U.S. Constitution does not give that power to the federal government. In fact if any power is not specifically given to the states it is the states by right according to the Tenth Amendment. For obvious reason the federal government chooses to ignore or mistranslate the U.S. Constitution at will. Since voters do not hold them in check I guess the voters must approve the behavior.

Someone will have to show in the Constitution where it says its the state’s responsibility to fund education at all.

BV,

If you are speaking about the study I think you are then it ranked the schools on how much money the government spent on them and not on how much the students actually learned. The socialist states do spend more money on education because they have more money to spend. The group doing the study was from the NE and the NE did the best. I have to give them credit for being patriotic but I am not sure about unbiased.

I know lets tax the rich states and transfer the money to the poor states so they will have equal resources. I forgot that is a liberal ideal and the “progressive” liberals would not touch it with a 10′ pole.

“The way they’re talking about it, they’re using this to restore morality, and that’s not the purpose of state government,” Lambright said.

Did someone change the meaning of the Tenth Amendment because last I read it states that any power not given to the federal government by the Constitution is reserved to the states and the federal government was not given the power to legislate morality except in limited cases.

Actually the government has a huge obligation regarding morality, just not the promotion of one religion over another. This is kind of a snapshot into the mind of the godless ACLU.

If by “godless ACLU” you mean that God, or any other deity for that matter, is not a member of the ACLU, then you’re probably right.
