"Murray: NCLB doesn't work

In today's Wall Street Journal, Charles Murray writes that No Child Left Behind doesn't work, and the Texas education statistics President Bush uses to extol the virtues of his education policies are bogus. This is pretty big stuff, it seems to me. Shouldn't we look into it, and opine -- either to defend NCLB, which we've championed on our editorial page, or to change our view on it?"

Or they could just flip a coin. Whatever works. --Robert Wilonsky
