HERE IS A LISTof Republican House members who voted for the No Child Left Behind Act. Shouldn’t these Republicans be prepared to explain what part of the federal Constitution grants power to Congress to tax for spend on and regulate public school systems created under State Constitutions? I would love to see a 10th Amendment rally and these Republicans who voted for the NCLBA called out during the rally and asked to explain themselves .

Please note that while DeMint voted against such tyranny, John Boehner and John Thune [leaders in the Republican Party] voted for the tyranny and the trashing of our Constitution’s Tenth Amendment!

But 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:

[b][i]“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€
