That was the one thing I really didn't like that Bush did. That and the Patriot Act (had something to do with illegal aliens, I can't remember now...). It was written and passed because of 9/11.

Its part of the "no child left behind" program..
That was the one thing I really didn't like that Bush did. That and the Patriot Act (had something to do with illegal aliens, I can't remember now...). It was written and passed because of 9/11.

No Child Left Behind (like most Federal Govt. "fixes") was a failure because it's a "one size fits no one" fix. What the federal bureaucracy has always failed to recognize is that what may work in the inner city may not work in the suburbs, and what works in a rural area probably won't work in the inner city. That's why the founding father's vision of America was government from the bottom up not the top down.

The original passage of the Patriot Act was definitely a knee jerk reaction to 9/11 and rightfully had an expiration date built in. What was troubling was that every time the expiration came close it was reauthorized (and often expanded) most recently under Obama.
