Found this cute little gem in Article I of the North Carolina Constitution, while on a search for something completely unrelated:

Sec. 15. Education.

The people have a right to the privilege of education, and it is the duty of the State to guard and maintain that right.

Right to a priviledge???  Must have been written by a public school graduate. :)

If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
