<P>But essentially you're taking the position that because you don't want the state to establish and fund public schools, the state should stop. Since the Idaho Constitution calls for the establishment and funding of such schools, the state is acting within its lawful authority in doing so. </P>
<P>Would I be correct in saying that you would like to amend the Idaho Constitution to bar such action on the part of the state? At least from K through 12?</P>

<DIV></DIV>>ROTFL! Great question.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>First, I *am* an advocate of States' rights. However, that doesn't mean that
<DIV></DIV>>the State has unlimited authority, powers, or jurisdiction. Just because the
<DIV></DIV>>State may think/act/and want to be god doesn't mean that it is.
