Can anyone show me either in Federal or State Constitution where the government has the duty to educate?
Q. I can't find anywhere in my copy of the constitution where the government (State or Federal) has the power to educate? Couldn't private industry do it better and cheaper?

A. That's a great question. I'm not as up on my constitutional knowledge as my husband is.(Perhaps due to my public education? lol) I'll ask him when he gets home. I've thought that private industry could do a better job. If you look at the statistics, we have a serious education problem here in the US. Politicians want to throw money at the problem but it doesn't seem to help. We have 2 children in the public education system. They are bright kids but honestly, there are times when they seem very bored with school. It's like they thirst for knowledge, but it doesn't come fast enough for them. They just aren't as excited about school as I want them to be. They make good grades, but I feel they want more. I do a lot at home to supplement… [cont.]

Under the constitution state governments have the power to coin money?
Q. True or False?

A. No, not under the Constitution. During the colonial period many of the colonies (that eventually became states) licensed / chartered enterprising individuals the right to produce coins. These were small operations whose output was never sufficient to meet the demands of the local economies for coinage. The colonial period in America was marked by coin shortages for various reasons.

Have you read the Texas state constitution?
Q. Interesting thing I heard on the radio and I think it might be true. They say in their constitution they have a special provision that allows them to secede the union any time they wish for any reason. It was also stated that they Texas never would have joined the Union without this special agreement.

A. I have read the Texas Constitution. It is the longest state constitution in the world. There is nothing, however, about secession. Even if there were, secession is illegal. Two Supreme Court cases in 1868 and 1975 declared any references of secession in the Texas Annexation Treaty to be unconstitutional.
