The following article provides a good clue as to who wins under Obama’s education plan.

NEA President to recommend Obama

Obama's education plan calls for: (1) full funding for educational programs from birth to 5 years old; (2) increasing the number of teachers through scholarships and incentive grants for taking challenging assignments; (3) prioritizing math and science education; and (4) focusing on parental responsibility in education.

Now why would the president of the NEA’s 3.2 million member organization support Obama when the federal government has no authority to tax for, finance, or meddle in the public school systems established under state constitutions? Because Obama promises to expand the federal Department of Education even though hard working families living in Harlem will be taxed to finance Obama’s proposed expansion.

The irrefutable fact is Obama’s education plan requires the misappropriation of federal revenue for a function not authorized by our federal Constitution!

Let us look at the facts.

The People of Maryland delegated the power for a state funded and regulated educational system to their state elected officials, and not to the Congress of the United States sitting in Washington --- the wording being as follows:


[quote] “The General Assembly, at its First Session after the adoption of this Constitution, shall by Law establish throughout the State a thorough and efficient System of Free Public Schools; and shall provide by taxation, or otherwise, for their maintenance.â€
