I remember when I was in Jr. High school [I graduated in June 1962 so figure out the dates yourself]. It was 7th or 8th grade, but there was much discussion about federal aid to education. Some were worried the feds. might want to intrude into local control. The counter argument was "that will never happen." Well we know that that was a load of crap. The federal government uses the money it gives to locals like a club to get them to do what they want. It seems that local governments can never say no to the federal money [it's like drugs to them].
