I don't think he'll get far with the Democrats in power, thank goodness. But it's ridic we have to watch for this travesty at both a federal AND state level.

One change showcased by the White House a few hours before President Bush gave his State of the Union speech would give poor students private school vouchers, something that is unlikely to win approval from the Democratic-controlled Congress.

California Democratic Rep. George Miller, who chairs the House committee overseeing education, called the initiative a "failed idea" that would be rejected.

The administration tried but was unable to include a voucher program in the No Child Left Behind law when it was first passed by Congress five years ago.

They're trying to sneak it in the same way Texas tried, by using poor students as the target.
