Do we (in the United States) have a Constitutional right to a free education?

Recently, I entered into a discussion (on Facebook) that started from a statement by someone that, in the United States, there is a Constitutional right to a free and equal education.  Before I reveal more about the discussion, I'm going to ask you to consider whether or not you would agree with that statement.  As with all questions regarding Constitutional rights, i.e. rights enumerated in and protected by the US Constitution and its associated Amendments, this is not a nuanced, shades of grey question but, rather, a straight up or down, yes or no question.  So, pause here for a few seconds and decide, yes or no, do you agree with the statement that, in the US, there is a Constitutional right to a free education.

Okay, I'm going to assume that you have given at least a little thought to the question and have decided upon your answer to it.  So, if you have decided that, yes, there is a Constitutional right to a free education, I now have another question for you: where in the US Constitution and its Amendments is this right guaranteed?  Feel free to Google/Bing the US Constitution and its Amendments and then post a comment with your references ... I promise to read your comments; however, I am going to provide my answer in my next post.
