Countdown?s Bushed!: You Gotta Be Kidding Me
Edition: Next is an update on the Orwellian No
Child Left Behind program, which has resulted in
graduation ratios going down and schools hurting
for funding country-wide. Turns out that the
cornerstone of the program, Reading First, a
program emphasizing literacy administered by the
president?s brother, Neil Bush, has not proven to
be effective whatsoever. So the reality is that
NCLB is actually leaving children behind in favor
of lining the pocket of the Bush family.
