82% of schools expected to 'fail' this year - Mission Accomplished For Bush's No Child Left Behind Law

George W. Bush figured we don't need smart educated kids to work part-time with minimum wage and no benefits at Wal-Mart. So, the dumbing down of American kids began and no child was left behind.

In testimony to Congress Wednesday, US Education Secretary Arne Duncan made a startling claim: This year, up to 82 percent of public schools could "fail" the government's "No Child Left Behind" standards.

"No Child Left Behind is broken and we need to fix it now," he said, according to a transcript provided by the Department of Education.
