Get the Feds Out of Our Schools! By Alan Caruba
One of President Bush's legacies that will be judged harshly in the future is his No Child Left Behind (NCLB) program that presumably was going to bring America's school systems up to a national standard of performance.
The first mistake, however, was made in 1979 when President Carter signed the Department of Education into existence. The Constitution recognizes that education is the business of the States and local communities. Not once is education ever mentioned as a responsibility of the federal government.
NCLB is one of those horrid monster federal programs that is always devoted to noble goals, spends tons of money, and achieves nothing of value.
