    REPLY to Response to 18 MOTION to Dismiss Plaintiffs' Substitute Complaint

    Filed November 18, 2011

    It is well established that “the Constitution is a charter of negative rather than positive liberties.” Jackson v. City of Joliet, 715 F.2d 1200, 1203 (7th Cir.1983) (citing, inter alia, Harris v. McRae, 448 U.S. 297, 318 (U.S.1980) (“It cannot be that because government may not . . . prevent parents from sending their child to a private school, government, therefore, has an affirmative constitutional obligation to ensure that all persons have the financial resources to . . . send their children to private schools.”).
