The federal government did not create the states. Jeff Davis? Nah. I'd rather have a George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, or John Adams. I guess before the imperial federal government stepped in, no one went to school or got an education? How did the federal government interfering with the education system exactly help? Bush and Miller and many other so-called Republican members of congress are RINOs; otherwise known as progressives. Dem or Repub, they are all the same, save a few. eab,

I haven't researched it but why else would the state be complying to begin with? Wayne and Rufus are pretty much correct in their assessments. The federal constitution is actually about federal law and the U.S. Supreme Court trumps states pretty regularly. SW, Jeff Davis has passed away. You'll have to look for another candidate (laughs). If our conservative brethren have their way, there won't *be* any school funding. Actually, I believe the provisions of the No Child Left Behind act are tied to at least *some* federal funding.

So they can get more money. It has nothing to do with helping children, just helping themselves. The only thing that has come out of this is schools fixing the grades to make themselves look better.

George W. Bush came up with it (but not any funding for it), a Republican congress passed it, and George W. Bush signed it. The congressman you keep sending back again and again, Jeff Miller, voted for it. You get what you vote for, so you'd better be paying attention. But that’s what you voted for, Republicans. George W.

The Civil war was fought after southern leaders foolishly declared war on the US by firing on Fort Sumter; if they had been wiser, there would have been nothing Mr. Lincoln or his cronies could have legally done about secession. Secession, in and of itself, is not illegal. The 10th Amendment has not been repealed as far as I know. Federal law trumps state law only because people who are not familiar with the US Constitution allow it to be so...more products of genius of our government-run school systems. Look it up.

Federal law trumps state law. The Civil War was fought over states rights and the rebels lost. The problem is not the federal governement. Its the people you send to represent you. Remember the No Child Left Behind was signed into law by a Republician President, If you "take this country back", you will get more intrustive Republician Laws.

SW, the feds authority to dictate how to run schools is in the same sentance as requiring, under threat of IRS fines, individuals to purchase health insurance. It's high time we take this country back from the cradle to grave nanny state before it's too late!!!
