Obama To Give 10 States A Pass On No Child Left Behind Deadline

Thinking will be outsourced.

It already is. What do you think the MSM, the vast majority of the "alternative media" (affiliated with Soros and the like) and public schools do? They tell their readers/students what to think. Critical reasoning was outsourced quite some time ago...

again, I ask: What law is he breaking?

Has the law been struck?

Was the ability to grant waivers not part of the law?.

Do you not recognize he is trying to make the best of what has been a massively unsuccessful program?

There is a reason he has not simply eliminated Medicare part D, or simply ordered the tax cuts he wants to expire as being done.

I get you hate the man and his party but your claim he is acting as a dictator is hyperbole of the highest order.

and you continue to avoid the question. When you include the ability to apply for a waiver into a law you are allowing that option. The law was written by our legislators and the authority granted. They certainly believed it was right that there should be such a process. These states had to apply for the waivers.

These are not arbitrary decisions from on high, there are applications and an approval process. You would rather have each application need the approval of the congress and Senate? There are indeed decisions that need to be made rapidly and by a single individual which is why we have an executive branch in the first place. NCLB as it was written allowed for these waivers.

but as with everything he does...this is not about the constitution...this is merely about power.

^_^ Ah, I love the smell of paranoia in the morning. It is really funny when I see republicans claim with a straight face that Obama is trying to destroy america or take over the world or some other absurd claim. It's like they think he's a disney villain or something...
