No Child er... no fatcats... left behind

And now we find that the way cool Reading First program that is the centerpiece of the administration's No Child Left Behind initiative, is an unproven pilot program that is a financial bonanza for the 5 lucky companies that are in the pocket of the ruling party. Once again we've been told that the preferred programs that are in the pocket of the Republican Party will replace any programs in place that are successful or are actually working. Check Michigan, New Mexico, etc, etc.... The game is simply that if you want Federal Funds you've got to accept the untested and unproven textbooks and curriculum that are favored by the government dogma and are lining the fat cat pockets. That this is happening to children is appalling! That even children are fair game for profit taking and partisanship is a particularly foul and grotesque display of incompetent governance. Is anyone reporting this besides the Washington Post! Come on people! Shout about it!
