More to the point, I am saying that
a) the Founders would not have considered a Department of Education as a function appropriate to the Federal institutions.
b) That they would have held it was the State's individual duty and responsibility to decide on the Educational needs of their citizens.
c)That the Virginia founders, for example, would have rejected the Constitution out of hand if they thought it was going to allow a Federal government to operate like it does now.
