It is not a constitutional power for the federal government to intrude on state and private education. It is debatable whether society benefits or is harmed by that. Certainly, it needlessly adds to the national debt and enlarges Federal power. And it imposes dictatorial regulations on public education (and private as well) that weakens the states position as that pool of competitive ways of doing things which, in the long run, could create better results.


George Will is a interesting writer. I thought his article drawing parallels between Cortez and Trump was interesting and important.
Since you do not approve of Trump, I wouldn't think you'd want to draw parallels of Cortez to Trump unless you want to discredit her. Wouldn't the differences be what is important--if what Cortez says is supposed to "expand our horizon."

What "line" are you talking about? Would a crooked line make it better? Another one of your many cryptic statements. Please verify.
