So I'm taking this online Zogby survey and they ask me this:
"Are you aware that a part of the "No Child Left Behind" education act of 2001 requires secondary schools that receive federal money, to release personal information about their students to military recruiters? "
Isn't that extortion? You can only go to these schools that the law guarantees you the right to attend, if you get on our harassment list for joining the military. Well I guess its the price for education... well... now it is. The more I hear about 'No Child Left Behind', the more I think both the Democrats and Republicans are bastards for passing it. Its not a right or left issue, its just a rotten law. And all the failing schools are doing away with all the art and cultural programs to focus on the subjects that the students get tested on (its the learn to be tested method of teaching).
So now, poor kids don't get art or culture from school but they do get on military recruitment lists... bastards.
