Tell your Congressman to vote “NO” on the reauthorization of NCLB!
The massive 1,059 page document was released only this morning for public review. The U.S. House will vote on December 2nd. This is how they rammed ObamaCare through!
Congressional education leaders have negotiated behind closed doors a framework agreement on the rewrite of the Elementary and Secondary Act (ESEA), currently called No Child Left Behind (NCLB).
In spite of House propaganda about control being returned to the states, here is some of what is in the bill:
- embeds tentacles of Common Core system,
- expands federal control over education,
- continues testing for 3-8th graders in reading and math,
- states will determine their own testing opt-out laws but must have 95% participation,
- continues data mining,
- federal funding for expansion of charter schools with federal strings and no local school board,
- expansion of early childhood education (beginning at birth) with federal strings over public pre-K, and
- 21st century Community Schools funding. Replaces authority of parents and church.
PLEASE CALL 202-224-3121 demand a NO vote!
