Constitutional rights apply to all US citizens not just the elite. Freedom is a basic right and parents also have their parental rights to make decisions for their minor children. CPS BM’s don’t have any legislative rights making any decision that restrict unalienable rights. TYVM.

The virus is not under control due to misinformation regarding vaccinations and masking. They scream, "my body my rights". Well, I have rights too! One of them is to not become infected.

The Constitution vests the power in the legislative branch to ensure decisions on war are made democratically, rather than by a single person.

It would take congress years to make a decision, and the amount of pork required would be phenomenal. Congress is dysfunctional.

Most congressmen are millionaires, but our nation is nearly $40 Trillion in debt.

Congress can't even pass a budget to fund the government.

The fact that legislators would use this for political gain and schools would use this as a financial game (teaching to the tests so they get an A rating, which gives them more money, wash-rinse-repeat). is a no from me. Didn't they learn something from the failure of the No Child Left Behind?
