Minnesota State Constitution and Education

Referring to some comments I made at our last meeting concerning the relationship of our state constitution and public education, here is the relevant text of the constitution:
ARTICLE XIII. MISCELLANEOUS SUBJECTS. Section 1. Uniform system of public schools. The stability of a republican
form of government depending mainly upon the intelligence of the people, it is the duty of the legislature to estab-
lish a general and uniform system of public schools. The legislature shall make such provisions by taxation or other-
wise as will secure a thorough and efficient system of public schools throughout the state.
As for library funding, it appears to me that a library is essential to ". . .a thorough and efficient system of public schools. . ."
Furthermore, a ". . .uniform system of public schools. . ." should demand that library funding be the same throughout the state, so as to ensure that every public school has library facilities and staff not significantly worse than library facilities
and staff in any other similar public school. If the funding system employed by the state leads to a situation where some schools are without a certified librarian, that system would violate the Minnesota State Constitution. drfaust.
