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.

How many Democrats voted against it? 7 in the Senate and a whopping 10 in the House. Tell me again Democrats weren't supporting it. Don't do what you accuse others of.
