Thank you Peg for joining the suit against the No Child Left Untested. While her Republican challenges are saying that this suit is a ploy to gain favor amongst liberals, the ABV applauds Peg for standing up against this terrible, unfunded legislation.

No Child Left Behind raises the standards for schools and measures these standards by requiring additional testing. When schools don't meet these standards, they are penalized. Meanwhile, no additional funding is offered to these schools to meet the demands of the legislation and to help serve the needs of students.

NCLB is basically an attack on schools that are already struggling. It adds additional emphasis on testing instead of educational quality. It would be a disappointment if our Attorney General didn't take a stand against this. Shame on Bucker and Van Hollen for turning this into a partisan game. They clearly have no knowledge of the education system or what it means to protect the citizens of Wisconsin.
