Obama's First 100 Days--The Black Agenda Report Card | 50 comments

I have no love for NCLB. (4.00 / 2)

I have opposed it aggressively in every campaign I worked on.

My point is you cannot repeal it. You cannot throw it away. We must REFORM and AMEND the education package to be rid of these viles of NCLB exactly in reverse of how they were inserted.

The whole concept of NCLB was to wipe out public schools and push for privatization and vouchers, I have no doubts about that.

On the other hand, I have no confidence in our current Senate to win fights for Title 1, Title 9 and other special ed funding programs if we have to start over from scratch. Reform, not repeal.
