Relying on Article VI of the US Constitution, former Teacher files lawsuit against Public Schools

ORWIGSBURG, Penn., Oct. 30, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ — Tom Ritter, a retired public school academic physics and chemistry teacher, has filed a lawsuit (in Dauphin County) seeking the courts to require that all public schools charge “fair” tuition.

(The effect will be to end public education in America, produce a blossoming of private schools and end school taxes.)

His reasoning:

  1. Many First Amendment rights (including, but not limited to, prayers before meals) are inextricably tied to the education of one’s children.
  2. For many people, the only way to exercise these freedoms is to send their children to a private school.
  3. The government restricts these schools (First Amendment rights) by charging no tuition in its own schools.

(As the late Nobel laureate in economics, Dr. Milton Freidman, put it: “Try selling a product that someone else is giving away!” — The New York Times Magazine, Sept. 23, 1975)

Ritter also relies on Article VI of the US Constitution:

“This Constitution…shall be the supreme Law of the Land…any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.” Of course the First Amendment is part of the Constitution.

  1. Bravo to the good Teacher. I am thankful for people like this who stand up for our Supreme Law of the Land!

    About the last paragraph – the quote of the second clause in Article VI. The complete clause reads;

    This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwith-standing.

    Perhaps one of the most important phrases of this clause has been left out!

    “which shall be made in Pursuance thereof;”

    This is the so called Supremacy Clause and big government proponents use it to mislead the unknowing masses (most of us) into believing that this is where the Constitution gives up its right as THE Supreme Law of the Land to the fedreal government. By leaving this line out one can construe that any law Congress (or the president or a Chief Justice (more Constitutional Defiance)) makes becomes the Supreme Law of the Land!

    Like the other Neo Clauses (The Neo General Welfare Clause, The Neo Necessary and Proper Clause, The Neo Commerce Clause and the The Neo Treaty Clause) the Neo Supremacy clause is a perversion of the actual clause. By leaving out the words “which shall be made in Pursuance thereof;” the Neo Supremacy Clause reads;

    As you can see the very spirit of the Constitution is gutted to mean that, really, any law of the federal government is supreme! THIS IS NOT TRUE!!

    In each of these Neo Clauses they have either omitted or twisted the words intended to clearly define the LIMIT of power to the Government in order to make the power of government boundless! They steal power NOT enumerated to them BY the Constitution.

    Any time a liberal starts quoting the Constitution we need to assume they have perverted the words. We must not leave anything out when we quote from the Constitution! They leave out words like, “which shall be made in Pursuance thereof;” in order to rip us off and they get away with it because we don’t know what the Constitution says!

    I know, in the case above, this is NOT the intent. But it is STILL an omission and serves, in however small part, to dilute the TRUE and ONLY Supreme Law of the Land, the Constitution. Let us always be true!
