Take This Law and Shove It

Voters in Kit Carson, CO have voted to opt out of NCLB. The good news is that these voters can afford to do it. The bad news is that the systems that are being hit the hardest right now cannot afford to opt out. See the whole story here in the Rocky Mountain News:

"Voters in Kit Carson have agreed to pay more in taxes to make up for federal aid they'll lose when the district pulls out of the No Child Left Behind program - a move believed to be at least the first of its kind in Colorado."
