YEs, the NAACP is saying they have a larger view in mind, and that is as follows: states can not ignore federal laws aimed to help minorities. I think the NAACP was wise to set aside politics and side with GW on this issue. Because I have say, again, this achievement gap is not going away without a constant push and shove by the GOP.
The unfunded mandate looms large here. As to NCLB, how many USG programs of a similar purpose have failed repeatedly at taxpayer expense?
answer.....every one of them. Enough is enough.
