The debate has pitted the Education Department and its allies in the civil rights movement, who say they are trying to ensure that children in high-poverty schools get the federal aid they are due, against a wide range of opponents including Republicans, teachers unions and district and state education leaders who have accused the Obama administration of overreaching its authority and threatening to introduce chaos into district budgets and classrooms nationwide.
The new draft rules released Wednesday reflect changes that the Education Department incorporated after its initial proposal received a barrage of criticism, but its clear that the changes have not addressed all of those complaints.

What could you do with a child's mind if you could have that time with him or her ? You might convince them that at least half our population are gay.

No authority found for the Dept of Ed in the Constitution.
No authority found in the Constitution for 95% of the Fed Gov’t.

Only one group will benefit from this. The only group that ever benefits from public education, the bum teachers in the NEA and the PTA and communist parents who want to destroy their children.
