That's just what I think. The Republican party platform on educaion believes this too, that the federal government should not play a role in education. Here is an excerpt:
- "The federal government has no constitutional authority to be involved in school curricula or to control jobs in the workplace...That is why we will abolish the Department of Education, end federal meddling in our schools, and promote family choice at all levels of learning"
It basically says what you said.
