State education=/= private education.

How do you get from "States have more control" to "less people are educated" - That seems like a complete non-sequitur.

It's easier and cheaper to control the uneducated (ie: religion can do a pretty good job).

Teaching creationism would still be unconstitutional no? Allowing states to set standards within the legal sphere, have more control over spending, more control for teachers, parents and communities wouldn't change that, what it would do is make spending more transparent, more cost effective and give parents, teachers etc more say in what goes on.

My feelings on the constitution prevent me from responding to this without venom and disgust associated with its existence and the reverence of people towards what I see as a piece of paper.

Why should your government get to dictate beliefs to everyone else, be they right or wrong? And even if you wanted a single government mandate such as "you must teach what is currently espoused by the consensus of experts in the relevant field to get funding" there would be no other reason to usurp power.

Your government has more power than you? It gets to declare what is a correct belief. You are in no position to deny them this should they do so.

Regulated Capitalism = Interfering in the consensual trade of adults = Opportunities and motivations for corruption = Corporate welfare = Tainted markets = debt.

Irregulated capitalism = zero interference in trade (slave trade is open as it is not restricted) = a dog-eat-dog world of little opportunity for many and built upon the concept of corruption = Mercantile government = Monopolies out the wazzoo = profit for a few at the expense of almost everyone else.
