I wouldn't mind so much if Texas, for example, wants to teach creationism and defund all their school libraries, if they would promise to keep all of their ill-educated, ill-informed youth from leaving the state after they graduate. But Texas can't guarantee that, and they're going to inflict those ill-educated, ill-informed youth on the rest of us. That's why education is a national, not just a state or local, concern.
