Are Public Schools Constitutional?

[Reverend Joe]

They're not constitutional? Fine. Then we have to amend the constitution.

Gawain, by eliminating federal guidelines requiring public schools, you fundamentally weaken the public school system. This allows private schools to grow much stronger. Now, frankly, I don't give a goddamn what is taught in those schools- the problem is when they become the standard, which I can clearly see you want to happen. The problem with this is that private schools can restrict who has access to their education. They also charge money, so that even if they don't make it official policy, they can block the poor from getting an education.

To make a long story short: this is another attempt from the rightwing elite to keep the poor stupid so that they can control them more easily.

I know that this is a meanspirited post- but I just had to vent. Sorry.
