>Pretty straight forward and to the point, right? So simply point to the article in the Constitution where the Fed is supposed to fund education, and we'll be on the same page. I don't know about "supposed" to, but the federal government is certainly "able to" fund education. There is the General Welfare Clause that affords powers to tax and approriate revenue: to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; And of course, the Necessary and Proper clause: The Congress shall have Power ... To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof. Ultimately, however, the Constitution is interpreted by the Supreme Court, not lay-persons, so you really can't just say that it's "straight forward and to the point" without addressing any case law on the subject.
