BREAKING: NCLB REWRITE BILL JUST RELEASED AT 9:30 A. M. THIS MORNING
11.30.15 — The NCLB rewrite bill was just released to the public at 9:30 A. M. this morning: http://edworkforce.house.gov/uploadedfiles/every_student_succeeds_act_-_conference_report.pdf
The NCLB reauthorization bill is 1,059 pp. and is to be voted on by the House in two days (Dec. 2, 2015). Remember that the House has been on Thanksgiving recess and just returned to their offices.
Speaker Paul Ryan should be ashamed of himself for trying to push through a bill that neither the House members nor the public has had time to read. What happened to the 60-day rule and with his promises of transparency?
MESSAGE FOR ALL CONGRESSMEN:
We have gone this long without rewriting the NCLB bill, and we can wait until after the 2016 elections. We as the American people do not trust this President, and we certainly do not trust any NCLB reauthorization bill that he would sign.
We also do not want a repeat of ObamaCare in which a similar omnibus bill was passed unscrupulously, has caused mass chaos in our healthcare system, and has led to increased debt and suffering.
Congressmen, we expect you to vote “NO” on the reauthorization of NCLB and to wait until we get another President and possibly other Congressmen in place after the elections of 2016.
