Republilcans don’t like the Feds interfering with the States.  So why was NCLB—Fed dicats on education—such a great idea in the first place?

Let me see now ... Kids from wildly different backgrounds and wildly different opportunities aren’t able to reach a nationwide prescribed standard within a prescribed time?  Schools too poor to buy supplies? Roofs leaking? Toilets plugged up? Kids whose parents can’t read, don’t have time to care about reading because they have to work too hard just to eat, are expected to “help” their children at home?  Families who do not “believe in” evolution can prevent teachers from mentioning the word in a classroom?
  Entire neighborhoods can get turned on their ear by allegations of “atheism” for mentioning the word
“Darwin”?  The (Republican) president, George Bush could mispronounce the most vitally important word in today’s world as “nukulur” and yet insist that no child be left behind—and on top of that, the probably-worst novels of the century (best-sellers among Christian Fundamentalists named the “Left Behind” series, by the way!)? Ominous, no?
  Plus years of TV funded by millions of donated dollars skewing and spewing and spinning and grinning the Daily Lies masquerading as public information?
  The entire nation is being Left Behind—and who’s surprised?

one has to have been much pavlovized not to have noticed by now that
schooling ensures that some children would be left behind,
dehumanized to some degree.
in addition, all would be miseducated! thanks

Here in OkieJesusland we are getting a pass because the Repugs here embrace all the Obamanation, Arne Duncan approved education “solutions”, vouchers, home schooling, charters, and private “electronic” schools.  And, of course, the destruction of any chance of quality public education.
