Though I'm a long-time reader and sometime commenter here at MyDD, I've never posted a diary before. But nobody's brought this up yet, and given the recriminations recently over whether you can support Michael Bloomberg and still be a Democrat in good standing, I thought that it was pretty pertinent.
In today's Washington Post, Michael Bloomberg and Jeb Bush have a column - together - on their support for the continuation and expansion of No Child Left Behind (NCLB). NCLB is a law that, as I've been arguing since its passage (offline, mostly), has a pretty basic set of goals: the destruction of teacher's unions and America's public schools.
