Here is the link to the specific code of the Department of Education: http://vlex.com/vid/sec-relationship-with-states-19199590 <br /><br />It&#39;s purpose is to PROTECT the rights of states and all public and private educational institutions within states in their regulation of education and prohibit federal government from administering education. <br /><br />I hope that clears things up a bit!<br /><br />JonathonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4907502252257695678.post-35224882513011869452009-09-04T20:24:34.082-04:002009-09-04T20:24:34.082-04:00Hi Murph,<br /><br />There is nothing that prohibits a president to make an address to students, in fact I heard or read the GW Bush addressed primary and secondary school students at the beginning of each year. The problem with this address is that it comes with a &quot;curriculum&quot; that, unless it was changed, initially asked students participate in activities such as writing and artwork in support of the president which is a legal violation of the Dept of Educations Code 20 USC 3403 which states &quot;&quot;any direction, supervision, or control over the curriculum, program of instruction, administration, or personnel of any educational institution, school, or school system.&quot; <br /><br />JonathonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
