You people need to start home schooling your kids anyway.
It's not the government's job to educate your kids. At least not some far off federal government.
I agree, call the govt bluff and let them pull funding. I was hearing on the radio this morning that it is estimated that federal mandates cost more than the funding the feds provide so in the long run, it would be better for the school to refuse funding and drop all federal mandates.
I don't remember there being anything in there about public schools...except, of course, for the clause that assigns to the First Lady the duty of choosing school lunch menus.
