“You forget about “No Child Left Behind”. Even before the passage of that, school districts would get problems if the performance of white students was too much higher than the performance of minority students. Raising performance of minority students is hard. Crippling performance of white students is easier.”
I’m not sure about No Child Left Behind. I remember hearing the teachers screaming about it. About the only thing that would provoke a reaction of that level would be that they were being forced to actually teach something.
As to equal outcomes - I do have that on #7.

Let me help you make up your mind. The Nazis defederalized the Weimar Republic in order to have a completely unified totalitarian state. Look up the term ‘Gleichshaltung’. Part of their ‘coordination’ was the creation of a national school system, with curriculum content, standards, and personnel approved by the Nazis. As to how this relates to us, the Federal government has been usurping control of education for years, under the guise of providing money, or setting national standards, etc. But the end result in any case is always the Feds taking more power. Even an innocuous-seeming law like NCLB is merely a step in centralizing all power, despite what it appears to do. That, and would you approve of something that Teddy Kennedy approved of?
