A Constitutional Right to Public Education

Utah Constitution – Article III § 4 states:

          The Legislature shall make laws for the establishment and maintenance of a system of public schools, which shall be open to all the children of the State and be free from sectarian control.

          Has Utah continued to live up to this constitutional requirement? If not, why was this such an important bedrock principle to Utah’s founding 'forefathers' and not to Utah’s floundering, forward-looking legislators?
