Preznit C+

Out in the wild reaches of America beyond Crawford and Fortress 1600, the No Child Left Untested Act is finally starting to show its vulnerability. States are beginning to Just Say, "No Thanks". Maybe not for the reason that it's a piece of crap, but they are beginning to show their dissatisfaction with its provisions if not its purpose.

The Republican-controlled Utah House voted 64-8 last week not to comply with any provisions for which the federal government has not supplied enough money. The bill, which now goes to the Senate, represents the strongest position yet taken by lawmakers around the country.
I'm guessing on any campaign swings through Utah, Preznit Give Me C+ will be talking about anything but...education and WMD's, which leaves him to detail his thrilling expoits clearing brush off his "ranch", and his success in teaching the twins that sobriety is our friend...it's Utah after all.

There is a bill before the AZ legislature on whether AZ should thumb their nose at No Child Left Behind, but I doubt they will say no to the money.

Arizona, Hawaii, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Virginia, Vermont and now Utah have all either passed or are working on legislation or non-binding resolutions challenging NCLB. May be more I'm unaware of, and there is certainly a lot of grumbling elsewhere.

Put it down as reason #12,931 to vote Bush out in November.

They had to, all those Mormon wives give their husbands a vote of encouragement to make it right.... anywhere from 5-8 votes per man in some neighborhoods... lots of encouragement.
