Are you aware of the W Bush program, "No Child Left Behind"?

Well, anyway, the Republicans are cutting all the funding to schools they can, on both the federal and state levels. Enough of those greedy elite teachers, living the rich life! Good luck to us!

Jon Stewart had a funny program on this very subject the other day

And, BTW, there is evidence that students are not as smart as they could be, due to diet. But it's been determined that wanting better nutrition in our schools, as the First Lady proposes, is a communist, socialist plot. NOBODY has a right to force our schools to serve more nutritious food! This is America!
