Why George Bush needs to get schooled

It has become clear that as disastrous as his foreign policy has been to the US, George W. Bush's biggest failure was his domesttic policy. From tax cuts for the super wealthy to an open war on science and the environment, this administration has time and again has shown to be grossly incompetent. But no failure is more glaring than his No Child Left Behind act. Now in its 4th year, the AP has reported that some of the states are helping some schools and school districts fudge test results by excluding certain racial groups. As disappointing as this is, I am hardly surprised. This administartion has never played by the rules, and now the states are getting in on the act. And who loses out? Kids from middle-income and low-income households.
