Mixed Feelings about Obama's Education Overhaul

Via the Chicago Sun-Times:

“President Barack Obama on Tuesday embraced a new approach to education that would reward good teachers, remove limits on charter schools and lengthen both the school day and the school year.”

I applaud the President’s strong stance in reforming a failing education system. However, I question what rights the federal government – let alone the Executive branch – is given by the Constitution to meddle in state’s affairs.

And for those of you who wonder – I feel the same way about No Child Left Behind, too.
