The amount of federal money given to local school boards is
insignificant compared to what is raised in local taxes.

really? only if you consider 21 billion dollars 'insignificant'

and nowhere is this prohibited. nowhere is a dept of education
prohibited

so far you keep telling me it is.

go ahead. show me where

The 10th amendment says if it is not delegated in the Constitution it
reverts to the states.
It is not delegated in the constitution.

meaningless. nothing the feds are doing is prohibited. what is
specifically 'not delegated'?


In a practical sense, we have had a federal education department for
30 years and education has really not improved

that's because america has the worst form of education policy in the
western world.

we allow local boards to run education. that's a disaster. no other
country does this. most have national standards and education is run
on a national level

we in america have a myth that local govt is better


Yeah, everyone knows the citizens of this country are not to be
trusted. ... and you call me a nazi. You seem to want a federal
education fuhrer.

in a manner of speaking, yes. unlike you, i'm a scientist. i think
rationally. i go with EVIDENCE

you? you think like a child. you **** your diaper then want to blame
everyone else

the fact is local school board control does not work. it's a failure.



we also have a more diverse student body than virtually any other
country in the world.

So?


you're just too stupid to know what's going on

You have such of a lack in communication skills that you have to
resort to personal attacks..
You must be a product of the public school system.

yep. i'm honored to say that i went to public school like most of the
middle class.

you? you're the spoiled brat of a privileged childhood who thinks the
middle class...and the black president...should know our place
