    Not a flame just a question - does the Governor still wear those kinky white girl go go boots. I thought Nancy Sinatra wanted those back.

    A local school board should sue the Florida Dept of Education under the same pretense. Let's go down the hole.

    Education is a state law under state control... they controlled their state education system. Local school boards have to authority over the state in this matter... matter of accreditation and curriculum.

    Right now as it stands these accreditors can mandate that all colleges teach gay pride as a class requirement and all states would have to comply just to get federal funding.

    I've been involved in accreditation from every angle. It's about 90% BS.

    So comply, or do without. Is it in the Constitution somewhere that states are just entitled to federal money, with no regulations or oversight?

    It's NOT their money... it's the tax payers money. I thought we got that figured out already?

    This is not the state demanding compliance from the Feds, this the state demanding freedom to make state right's decisions with out the Fed's interference in state affairs.

    Non-sequitur... but I'll play along.

    I am for all that money that We The People paid into the system being dispersed to the states proportionally so they can take care of their resident/citizens... You darn right. The fed should give up their micromanaging the people's/taxpayer's money.
