Dark Days for "No Child Left Behind"

Maggie says:
So... tired of children being left behind by our esteemed president's "No Child Left Behind" law, the National Education Association (representing 2.7 million union members), nine school districts in Michigan, Texas, and Vermont, and 10 NEA chapters in a handful of other states are suing the federal government in the single biggest challenge yet to Bush education policy. In addition, the New York Times cites a dozen states that are considering anti-No Child Left Behind legislation this year.

Taken together, this is huge. Huge. One to watch for how the courts handle this (the lawsuit was filed in Michigan, it's called Pontiac v. Spellings), how the Bush administration reacts, and how other school districts react. I can imagine more and more jumping on board, and then how in the world can the Republicans save face? I hope this gets good - I'm in the mood for a good fight.
