Question= https://constitutionallawreporter.com/2017/11/23/san-antonio-independent-school-district-v-rodriguez-1973/ So I was just researching san Antonio school district vs Rodriguez which is a court case that David always refers to for PEA’s. I keep finding that its saying the US SUPREME COUNRT held that the right to an education is not a fundamental right? am i reading this wrong?


Answer= Amber shares: all they are saying in the begging, it is not in the constitution for a delegated power of the government to guarantee that they get that education. constitution is only about delegating power to the government for specific enumerated purposes and any and all rights that we have outside of that are ours, it is our right and responsibility to provide educating for our kids. this is in Texas they are more freedom based. most states have assumed so much controlled power over providing education, in other states this case may have turned out differently. in Texas it says it is your right and responsibility as a parent to provide that service for kids, not our right, yours. also that fundamental rights or natural rights doesn’t mean that they need to be provided for by the government, the government is supposed to protect that we have that right. like with housing, we have the right to property, life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, that doesn’t mean the government gives it to us, we are not entitled to it, we just have the right to do it as people.
