I'd take this story with a grain of salt considering it's from WND. I really doubt Republicans in Congress would fund such a plan anyway.

That's what people thought about No Child Left Behind when it was still a pipe dream between George Push and then-Houston superintendent Ron Paige, in the late 1990s. I remember during the 2000 campaign Republicans saying *the same thing* - "It's just an election ploy." "Congress won't really pass that." "It will never happen," yadda yadda. Well - guess what. We now have No Child Left Behind - the biggest federal education boondoggle *ever.*

Now No Loony Left Behind is even more audacious, because it takes those *federally-controlled* schools, those teachers no one could trust because they're all 'so bad' they have to be monitored by the Feds - and turns them into *mental health screeners.*

This one is really, really bad, guys. Wake up and smell the thorazine.

My wife is a teacher. NCLB is an unspeakable horror.

No Child Left Behind at least could look okay before we saw it put into place --- the idea of checking everyone for mental soundness and then drugging them is too far-fetched.

The border schools are now extorting all kinds of money with the No Child Left Behind by demanding and getting all kinds of federal money because due to cultural problems the kids are left behind so the US taxpayers are having to throw money at luxury schools for kids who will still drop out.
