(Public education, that is. Private education is allowed do things very differently.) Here are two people from the Cato Institute [0] cheerfully expounding their ideological belief that the US Constitution doesn’t give the federal government any power over education (not even the "promoting the general welfare" clause of Article I, Section 8 which has been held to cover tax collection, public health, Social Security), and that in their opinion the rot set in with FDR in the 1930s. (Of course the Constitution doesn’t say anything about things like federal air traffic control, either, but few advocate mounting a constitutional challenge to strike down the overreaching government tyranny of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, which established the FAA by statute.)
