The House on Wednesday voted to reauthorize the No Child Left Behind law, resurrecting a bill that Republican leaders were forced to pull from the floor earlier this year due to conservative opposition.

Passage fell narrowly along party lines on a vote of 218-213, with 27 Republicans joining all Democrats in opposition to nearly derail it on the floor.

For most of the roll call, the bill had more votes against it than in favor. Many Republicans either held out their votes until the last minute or changed their votes under pressure from GOP leaders.

And still not a scrap of constitutionally-enumerated power to be meddling in education.

In 2010, Barack Obama called for fixing the public education system by giving us the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and “Race to the Top,”

which he said would fix the education system already fixed by the 2001 GW Bush and Ted Kennedy legislation called “No Child Left Behind,”

which was supposed to fix a system supposedly already fixed by a 1994 piece of federal legislation called “Goals 2000,”

which was supposed to fix a system already fixed by “America 2000,”

which was a 1991 response during the Bush administration to a 1983 federal report on education called “A Nation at Risk,

which was published a full four years after Jimmy Carter first fixed the nation’s public school system by establishing a cabinet-level Department of Education in 1979.

It’s all about the $$$ and power with the uniparty. Who’s turn is it to control either and then making sure the progressive socialist agenda marches on.

I am sure the Republican Party Boy rah-rah queens on FR hearts are just aflutter with the antics of Boner and McWeasal, “we have to have a Republican Congress in 2015 to oppose obama and the democrats...” And the result of the Republicans in charge is?????????????????????????????????

NOTHING.

But the Party Pukes are pissing themselves with excitement and out of body experiences being in power.

The Republicrats raced to the rescue with their Democrat bedmates. Some, that were considered somewhat Conservative, like Florida Congressman Bill Posey joined with Debbie Wasserman Schultz and her ilk to make certain that freedom continues to die in America.
