While President Bush is in Chicago explaining how he knows NCLB has worked, one of those goshdarn lawyers has revived a troublesome lawsuit. Apparently, the plaintiffs complain, if the federal government requires testing and tutoring and whatever, it behooves them to fund these requirements.
It's hard to say what will happen, as Bush may take the matter to the Supreme Court, which has been known to rule in his favor before. But I like the idea of demanding things I won't have to pay for. I'd like better service in restaurants. I'd like a third faucet with an alternative to hot and cold, perhaps vodka. And many of my colleagues are clamoring for free donuts and prostitutes in teachers' lounges.
It's good to be in the federal government, where you get the best health coverage, you can vote raises for yourselves and then insist that states spend money on whatever you say. No wonder all those people are running around New Hampshire 24/7.
