MR. RAVKR: As we said the other day, Mr. Sech§
|
|
4
|
my life has been devoted to the field of education. To
|
|
5
|
me, there is only one answer , number one, I think education
|
|
6
|
is more important to the people of Maryland than highways,
|
|
7
|
parks, roads and some of the other aspects. Not all
|
|
8
|
people agree with me, but I would back this up with the
|
|
9
|
fact that the framers of the Constitution of 1777 thought
|
|
10
|
education was a Human Right and put it into the Declaration
|
|
11
|
of Rights, and they also put the provisions in Article VIII
|
|
12
|
of the Constitution. Let me ask you what has changed.
|
|
13
|
What evidence do you have that it ought to be removed at
|
|
14
|
this point?

|
MR. SACHS: There is the notion. My purpose
|
|
16
|
is really, we are anxious to have your views which are far
|
|
17
|
more relevant to this Committee 's views than mine are.
|
|
18
|
There is a notion, of course, that the proper function of
|
|
19
|
the Executive, who is after all the elected official in
|
|
20
|
the State closest to the people, is to bo able to determine
|
|
21
|
in the public interest the general allocation of State
