Rightwingers have always wanted to drain public education by taking away its funding. It's all based on Jim Crow segregation and racism. They don't want their tax dollars to pay for poor minority kids. No Child Left Behind is just a new bait and switch method of undermining public education while pretending to care about it.

Bush invented this "the name sounds good" program which is really a Trojan Horse like his pro air pollution "Clear Skies Initiative". Stick it into the school system and it gives the impression (with cheating on scores) that everything is fine. Meanwhile they underfund the whole thing, drain money from the public system and send money to the parochial schools and "faith-based" organizations.
