Connecticut Sues over Education Policy
:On Monday, Connecticut became the first state to sue the Federal Government over the President’s No Child Left Behind Program. Connecticut alleges that the Federal Government has not provided the financial support that they promised when Congress passed the bill. Connecticut is balking at the price of testing students every year instead of the biannual tests that they had before the bill was passed. Connecticut joins a number of local school systems and unions in suing the Federal Government over the highlight of Bush’s domestic policy.
