Corporate donors over kids.
The Department of Education Inspector General has released another report criticizing the Bush administration’s Reading First program, part of the No Child Left Behind Act. The IG found the program “violated the prohibition against controlling individual school curricula by promoting specific reading materials and instructions to the financial benefit of companies — such as McGraw Hill and Voyager — headed by top Bush administration donors.”

Vice President Dick Cheney said Friday that China’s recent anti-satellite weapons test and a rapid military buildup were “not consistent” with its stated aim of a peaceful rise as a global power
Oh, it isnt funny anymore when the other caveman also has a club, right?
Lets see:
February 22nd, 2007 at 9:47 pmChina is a totalitarian “communist” regime, nuclear weapons, recently hostile…hey, Dick, wanna give China a try of some democracy?
So, what part of the government has this administration not converted to become the personal unlimited ATM of his corporate donors?

Hopefully, the press won’t relent from their Anna Nicole coverage and cover this.
February 22nd, 2007 at 9:52 pmunder Bush doesn’t No Child Left Behind Act really mean every child left behind, except if you are one of the ‘have mores.’
February 22nd, 2007 at 9:53 pmNo Profit Left Behind.
February 22nd, 2007 at 11:49 pmIt is ironic how the right wing tries to paint liberals as godless, or participating in the religion of ‘global warming’ or any other cause the right finds dangerous to their delusion.
February 23rd, 2007 at 12:11 amYet, despite the fact that they push the christian god, they actually worship the god of profit. Their religion isn’t otherworldly or all powerful, it is a perversion.
This is a dead topic. Bush just wants kids to read “My Pet Goat” book.
February 23rd, 2007 at 1:03 amIt’s important for the GOP to have the dumbing down of America. Like the past if a person can’t read they will only follow. Remember how the GOP tried to set up the government to have a one party system. The K street project was in full force. Bush gives 2 billion a day to Iraq while our troops have nothing and our injured troops come home to live with mice and roaches. Bush and the GOP have destroyed our Constitution while using Gods name. Notice how all the Pastors are really just collecting money while lying to the church followers. We don’t have a President we have a Liar-in-Chief. The journalist who Bush invited to the White House were the ones who spread the lies for him, honest journalist weren’t invited.
February 23rd, 2007 at 1:59 amGee…why should I be surprised?
February 23rd, 2007 at 9:17 amNo Child Left Behind is seriously an international joke. People who actually study education are baffled at it . . . it really sucks that people who know nothing about education are in charge of shaping the education system of an entire country.
February 23rd, 2007 at 9:47 amSome day foward, the administration will “demand” their own specific reading material for all the kids. Stalinistic, Maoist, Hilter like. George will have his own little book for the kids indoctrination.
February 23rd, 2007 at 10:17 amThat’s why they want to dismantle the public school system. In one stroke they ensure future votes by dumbing the populace and profits and fat ceo bonuses for their corporate buttbuddies who will “administer” the system that replaces the one they’re trashing on purpose. Republican’ts can’t win fair fights, ever.
February 23rd, 2007 at 11:46 amThis is known as “stacking the deck” in favor of corporate America’s enslavement of the average Joe on the street by warping or trying to warp and twist and shape the minds of our children in school with an Orwellian propagandism filled with jingoism, demagoguery, religious dogma and creationism nonsense, psychobabble gobbledygook that rots the minds of our young and makes them into mindless zombies that tow the line and never speak out or up about any govenment wrongdoing or oppression. This insiduous encroachment of brainwashing techniques and favoritism of big business’ rightwingnut repugnant-repub “values”(read poisonous venom) must be WIPED OUT, OBLITERATED and the big business leaders who foster this kind of perniciousness LIQUIDATED for the good of America and its children!!!!!
