Some senator or representative ought to call for a name change over at the U.S. Department of Education. Please change it to the Department of Propaganda. (Oh, wait, we already have that at the Department of Defense.)
I discovered this outrage Jan. 7 when I learned that the Education Department had paid a black commentator $240,000 to support the so-called "No Child Left Behind" Act (really called the far-less-rosy Elementary and Secondary Education Act). Even more outrageous: He said he supported the law anyway. I don't know if it is worse that the government paid him or that he would have said nice things about the flawed law even without the quarter-mil.
Finally, we don't have the money to fully fund the law, but I guess we have the money to pay people to say they like it.
