Education has BECOME way too politicized? It STARTED with NCLB?

Have you heard of Sputnik? Have you heard of segregated schools?[/quote]

Segregated schools was a civil rights issue.

Sputnik increased low interest loans to college students in the sciences---the federal department of education did not even exist at that time---it didn't exist until Jimmy Carter (1980)

Those two things did not seek to "punish" schools and states by taking money away---they did not include "waivers" to keep getting money---you cannot compare NCLB to those things.  [/quote]

Civil rights are not a political issue?

And Sputnik did a lot more in education than just increasing low-interest loans to college students in the sciences -- which was the result of the National Defense Education Act, passed by Congress in 1958, i.e., a political issue.
