Thanks for that synopsis. I have two questions about it--what do you think has been the success of NCLB? And what do you mean by "Labor unions will be running homeland security"?

Thanks for the reply....what do you think has been the success of NCLB?

Measurable progress of all groups of students on basic reading and math skills. The NCLB has definitely been a success in raising actual benchmarks, and the libs have been screaming for two years about it.

Labor unions will be running homeland security"?

Democrats have been trying since DHS was set up to unionize every aspect of homeland defense, and without the Republicans, DHS will grow into the greatest giveaway to unions of all time. That was the entire point of Schumer's Port Snort (IMHO)....not security.
