The US now has the lowest HS graduation rates of any

Great education plan !!!
Way to go, Team Winger !!!

You friggin' idiot! Bush is not responsible for everything bad that
happens, unless you also give him credit for all the good.
And that ain't going to happen.

It's liberalized education and welfare programs that get the blame for
our
uneducated masses. If your Obama wet dream comes true, expect more of
this.

Bush's "No Child Left Behind" was going to improve education for everyone,
and now the graduation rates are *dropping*.

NCLB is a stupid program from a guy who got C's in college. It's exactly
what we should expect from a neocon who claimed that education was one of
his top two priorities, before the 2000 election. The stupidity on our
part
was in believing he knew what he was talking about.

Tell us, RB, how "liberalized education" has led to reduced graduation
rates. If it's liberalized, the logical conclusion is that everyone should
be graduating.

Could be that they are achieving their education goals early, and no
longer need to waste time going through to the end.

Right. g I must admit that I'm impressed with the ability of this group to
find scapegoats, strawmen, and sophistic excuses for nearly every social ill
that befalls us. With no more than two logical steps, nearly everyone finds
that the culprit is a Democrat. It's a good thing that we've had a
Republican administration for the past eight years, and a Republican
Congress for most of the years since 1994, or we could be in big financial
trouble right now.

If I didn't know better, I'd say you're all ideal representatives of the
kind of thinking that's made US manufacturing the dominant international
powerhouse that it is today. d8-)


The problem is not caused by Republicans or Democrats. It's caused by
crooked politicians. Wait a minute, that's redundant isn't it? Term
limits are the answer and the ability to recall poor performers.
