‘The Washington Constitution imposes only one “paramount duty” upon the State: “to make ample provision for the education of all children residing within its borders, without distinction or preference on account of race, color, caste, or sex.”‘ (McCleary 2015, p 1) That is the first sentence of the Supreme Court of Washington’s filing on Aug. 13, 2015. And this “paramount duty” has been and is chronically violated by the Washington legislature.
