Political Quotes

“I spoke to our State legislature and I said the President's No Child Left Behind Act is leaving lots of children behind. There was a little criticism for my having said that. But I was right. In the State of Nevada, as we speak, the Clark County School District, which is the fifth largest school district in America, is talking about cutting back the school week to 4 days. Some of the good programs, such as the athletic programs, which I believe in, and programs dealing with the band and drama they are talking about eliminating, and they are talking about doing away with the programs for the academically talented. In fact, unless the legislature can get some resources from the State of Nevada--they don't expect anything from the Federal Government--the Clark County School District is talking about stopping all-year-around school. We have a year-round school district. They have been talking about closing schools. Well, talk about leaving some kids behind; that is it.”
