I'm not a fan of NCLB, but the law is the law.
And, I'll tell you something, Clemenza, as I know you are very familiar with both FL and NY, just as I am: others like us have also commented to me how there is MORE discrimination in the NE than in the South. MUCH MORE. Knowing both places -- I believe it's true. However, in the NE, they try to do their discrimination a lot more quietly than anywhere else!
