“If it did pass, there would be no safeguards if, for example, the Legislature decided on a whim one day to slash school funding in half. The court could scream and holler, but the Legislature could simply ignore the court and do whatever it pleased. This is particularly frightening because there are so many legislators who believe the state currently overspends on education. ‘Suitable’ to them means bare-bones education. The constitution’s requirement would basically be nullified.”
