The framers neither had, nor did they anticipate compulsory schooling in this country. They would have had no frame of reference to anticipate such an institution would exist, much less be used as a mechanism of sedition. Mass compulsory schooling did not come to exist until the “progressive era”, when American progressives promoted it while openly touting the same as a tool for social engineering, which is precisely how they’ve used it for the past century.

Hi! And thank you for joining the conversation.

Education provided by our governments* is, I should think, simply government responding to the needs of the people. That is, when all's said and done, what government's all about; collectively attending to the needs of the people. Your observation about the framers of the Constitution of the United States of America is correct. There is much that they would not have been able to anticipate. The amendment process and also of great importance, case law, 'fit' the basic document to changing times and changing social mores.

Regards, stay safe 'n well. Remember the Big 3: masks, hand washing and physical distancing.

* The plural was used to underscore the multiplicity of governments -- city, state and federal -- involved in the process.

You said trump. You meant Kim Jong Un.
Patriotic education? LOL!!! How freaking transparent can you be Mr Hitler. What's next, the Nazi Youth?

Actually, it’s not a new idea. Courses in “civics” were routinely taught in American schools back when there were still enough patriotic Americans in charge to understand that teaching the next generation about our system of government and its virtues was critical to preserving our culture. It wasn’t until anti-Americanism came into vogue in the 1960s that civics was replaced with “social studies” by progressives.

Schools used to be wholly funded by the states themselves. With the introduction of the "Department of Education" by Carter, the Fed got the states hooked on block grants from Uncle Sugar, until the states relied upon them.
Ofc there's strings attached to those block grants.

When I think of the status of our schools today, then I remember this testimony by a young woman that graduated High School, in Florida and was accepted and ready to start college.

That was all about firing the school lunch lady and getting SEIU workers and food supply into the schools. It had nthing to do with health and the kids would not even eat the garbage.
