> The centerpiece for W's first term was the No Child Left Behind Act. Many described it as the No Child Gets Ahead Act.. I think most people who look rationally at the NCLB Act can see it was an awful idea. If you have schools that are already struggling, the answer is not to take money away and make it _even more difficult_ to get their kids educated. > I've heard of that partcular move by NYC and I'm not a fan. I imagine the net effect is that it will drive those with the means to put such children into private schools instead. If you're low-income you don't have this option. How does this benefit anyone? You hit the nail on the head here, and what you've identified is that class is the much more pertinent issue. Folks need to be vigilant with social justice initiatives right now. Some people care about making legitimate, meaningful change. Other people use racial justice as a cover to do stupid crap like they're doing in NYC.
