Patently untrue.
Am overwhelming majority of Republicans oppose federal involvement in educating our children. (The proof? The Republican Platform; adopted by the democratic processes of the Party.)
The passage of this legislation is a monumental sellout of the grassroots of the GOP, by elected Republican 'leaders' who are more afraid of the NEA than they are of Republican rank-and-filers.
Time will tell if their cynicism is warranted.
Unfortunately, if their political gamesmanship fails, which it almost surely will, they will then blame their critics for the failure, as usual.
I don't need to read the legislation. I know what happens when federal bureaucrats are given authority and money by Congress to regulate,because the same thing happens every time. I cannot even think of a single federal program which hasn't expanded, become more intrusive, costly and meddlesome and has led to a deterioration of the service and choices available to people except those few times when the feds deregulated industries, such as the airline industry, but they are even trying to reregulate that.
When Medicare was implemented, critics said that the federal government would insinuate itself in the physician patient relationship and start dictating care. They were disparaged and ridiculed. Guess what happened. Medicare is 100,000 pages plus of dictating care and intimately regulating the physician patient relationship.
I will tell you exactly how they will fudge data. Some, if not all of the coming standardized "performance" tests will contain high proportions of true false questions. So in these sections, 50% correct answers may sound good, but that's exactly what random chance would give you. They will give extra points for "disadvantaged" children because of race, sex, family status, etc. such that standardized performance tests will be outcome based performance tests.
And home schoolers...just wait, the feds will be back for you in a couple of years.
