Oh, btw, if the federal government does not have any business/power regarding education,
according to the constitutionalists,
then homeschooling is NOT a fundamental right.
'Idiot' far too complementary a term for you.
I'll just call you 'Leftist.'
A right is not bestowed....it is inherent in a human being.
Perhaps redefining right is in order.
a. A right is something an individual has by virtue of being human.
b. Human beings are the only entities that have rights.
c. Rights belong to each human individually.
d. Rights are exercised by individuals, and are not given nor ascribed by any person of group, especially governments.
e. Rights are voluntary, in that individuals may choose whether to either exercise them or to ignore them.
f. Individual cannot have a right that infringes upon or diminishes the rights of others.
g. Whereas the right to bear arms and free expression require nothing but governmental promise of protection, fake rights entail government coercive redirection of private resources.
Richard Lorenc, Reinventing The Right, p. 33-34.
I must tell you how much I love your posts: there is not a better semi-human exponent of Leftist dogma than you.
Perhaps I should have said 'civil right'. A civil right is a right that is protected by law.
If the federal government has no power constitutionally in education, then homeschooling is not a fundamental civil right,
because a state can ban it without being susceptible to reversal on constitutional grounds.
So...
...is education a federal concern, constitutionally?
Damn, still wrong. Civil rights are those created by law, natural/political rights rights exist outside of law. Both can be, and are, protected by law.
