No child will be left behind...unless they do bad on the test so really, most children will be left behind -- even more so than before. But No Child Left Behind had a nice ring to it as a sales pitch.
You have to focus resources on two groups:
Genius Scientists -- these are the only group of intellectuals that are likely to honestly use the resources and power they are given for its intended purpose. It's an amazing group really.
Idiots -- Because otherwise they cost us even more money and drag down non-idiots.
