Track College Students????

There is another silly idea coming out of the Bush administration. USA Today's story says Sec. of Education Margaret Spellings wants to create a national database to "track" the learning of college students. Is this just another way to get information on students? Will the data be sold, given to military recruiters, or the GOP? No thanks! Spellings also was responsible for the highly unsuccessful "No Child Left Behind" act that has been grossly underfunded. Spelling and her crew need to work out how to fund NCLB before they create another unfunded mandate.

Think Progress has an analysis of NIE document and the Bush administration's activities and rhetoric. Long story short --- 'Cheney and Bush Misled Americans'

Did ESPN fake cheers for former President George H. W. Bush? Apparently, it has happened before. Check out the Daily Kos via Raw Story.
