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.
