Robert D. Holsworth, a political science professor at Virginia Commonwealth University and director of the school’s Center for Public Policy, said the issue has become one of ideology for Gov. Allen.
It is an attempt to wrestle power from the federal government to the state, he said, and because it deals with funding education as opposed to welfare reform or parole reform, it is difficult to convince people he is doing the right thing.
“This is one where he’s swimming against the tide,” Dr. Holsworth said.
Mr. Jones pointed out that the state accepts millions of dollars in federal funds every year for everything from schools to roads.
“If we were to draw a line in the sand for federal intrusion this seems to be the least likely place to do so,” he said.
Yet, Gov. Allen said he will fight to keep Virginia from applying for the aid. He maintains that if the state continues to stand firm the federal government eventually will remove all restrictions:
“This is a matter of principle for which I will stand no matter how strongly the winds of political expediency may blow,” he said.
