    There is no reason to have 50 separate curriculums. The ONLY reason that exists is so MAGA states can use the schools to indoctrinate American schoolchildren

    That’s not the only reason. There are in fact principles of federalism, and there’s the 10th amendment to the constitution. Educating the public is not one of the 17 enumerated powers granted to Congress in article I. Under the 10th, powers that are not granted to the national government are reserved to the states or to the people.

    This is why the national government’s regulation of education is based around carrots in the form of block grants that states apply for. Not enforcement sticks.
