Why is that a valid issue?
- AnimalMuppet 11y agoWell, there's the 10th Amendment: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." And there's a quite reasonable position that says that an unbiased reading of the constitution does not give power over education standards to the United States government. And the other side will state that it's covered by the commerce clause or general welfare clause or something. (But everything can be argued to be covered by those to clauses, and the 10th Amendment meant something to the authors...)
