More fundamentally, federalism: the Federal government does not tax state institutions (one sovereign does not tax another).

"Laws for the liberal education of youth, especially of the lower class of people, are so extremely wise and useful, that, to a humane and generous mind, no expense for this purpose would be thought extravagant." John Adams, 1776

"History is a race between education and catastrophe." H. G. Wells

"Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress.......But I repeat myself." Mark Twain

And...."The Secret of Freedom lies in educating people, whereas the Secret of Tyranny is keeping them ignorant." Robespierre
