Sorry, wrong Kennedy. http://www.education-world.com/a_issues/issues309.shtml

The bill was officially sponsored by Republicans, but there were plenty of DemonRats who thought that NCLB is just great and that the only problem with it is that not enough money is being spent on it.

According to Sean Hannity, Kennedy said 'Pass NCLB and you'll get your private school vouchers,' a pledge that he and his fellow DemonRats later reneged on.

We're getting a little bizarre in our revisionism around here. With a republican controlled congress, senate, and executive branch, a White House proposed initiative (see http://www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/education/), a republican house sponsored and cosponsored bill (see http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d107:H.R.1:), and with President Bush signing that bill into law on January 8, 2002 (see http://www.ed.gov/nclb/landing.jhtml?src=pb), we now point to a news article where Kennedy "agrees on the need for education reform" to claim that the No Child Left Behind act is the democrat's tar-baby.

Well, I guess the party in power gets to both write the laws and re-write the history as it pleases.
