IS THE CONSTITUTION CONSTITUTIONAL? A Lincoln high school teacher's assignment on U.S. Constitution Day, for students to evaluate whether the restrictions and empowerments of the nation's legal template are, well, constitutional, has made national news. EdNews.org used it as an example of ways that we could and should review just how far afield of the Constitution our education policies and funding mechanisms have come. Believe it or not, federal regulation of and funding for education at any level is unconstitutional. If it ain't in there, we ain't supposed to be doin' it: http://www.ednews.org/articles/1600/1/Education-Notebook-Is-Constitution-Day-Unconstitutional/Page1.html
