"Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." 

George Washington. 

"When all government, in little as in great things, shall be drawn to Washington as the Center of all Power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated." 

THOMAS JEFFERSON 1821- In a letter to Gideon Granger. 
Writings of Thomas Jefferson.  Blessings of Abundance and Health in all things Good 

" ... There will always be a party for giving more to the rulers, that the rulers may be able in return to give more to them. Hence as all history informs us, there has been in every State & Kingdom a constant kind of warfare between the governing & governed: the one striving to obtain more for its support, and the other to pay less. And this has alone occasioned great convulsions, actual civil wars, ending either in dethroning of the Princes, or enslaving of the people. Generally indeed the ruling power carries its point, the revenues of princes constantly increasing, and we see that they are never satisfied, but always in want of more." 

-- Benjamin Franklin, in a letter to the Federal Constitutional Convention, as recorded by James Madison on June 2, 1787.

The Future of the USA 

There is no Constitutional authority for the federal government to be involved in education in any way whatsoever. 

The growing amounts of money and control coming from Washington have been matched by lower SAT scores, declining standards, more dangerous schools, and generations of Americans who have no basic education in history, geography, the Constitution, mathematics, science, or literature. 

This doesn't bother the politicians, however, because they don't see federal aid to education as a means of raising literacy and knowledge ... 

 Republican and Democratic politicians use federal aid to education as a way to implement their social agendas. 

 The Libertarian Party knows that no federal educational program can ever work. We would get the federal government out of education - completely and immediately. 

The most effective way we can improve education in America is to repeal the income tax, so that you can afford to educate your child your way - in a private school that offers the curriculum you want, in a religious school that teaches the values you believe in, or through home-schooling conducted your way.
