The phrase "...promote the general Welfare..." opens the door for an end run around every Constitutional restriction on FedGov. There was a long running fight to put that phrase in, with most of the Founding Fathers opposed to it. But Hamilton eventually convinced the majority to add it, to our lasting detriment.
The constitution doesn't allow federal education. Congress wrote a law in the 70's citing the 14th amendment, that's as close as you'll get.
That law could be changed at any time.

I love your comment. Spot on. May as well have thrown the bill of rights in the trash after that garbage.
