Volume II, Number 1, January, 2004

This month's free issue includes one article, a cartoon and a song.

1. Mad Cow, NCLB, Duplicity and Hypocrisy (Excerpt below)
http://www.nochildleft.com/2004/jan04madcow.html
The administration is reluctant to regulate business
but swift to dictate policy to public schools.  There is a
double standard when it comes to regulation.

2. Cartoon - No Cow Left Behind
http://www.nochildleft.com/cartoon20.html
The administration could have taken steps long ago to protect
consumers like banning "downer cows" from the marketplace,
but the meat packing industry got its way.  Let them eat beef!

3. Protest Song - We Don't Want Your Millions Mister
As the New York Times reported this week the beginnings of a
rebellion against NCLB, Editor Jamie McKenzie took guitar in hand
and wrote new words for an old labor song sung in the past by
Tom Seeger, Wood Guthrie, Tom Rush and many others.

"Because this new law gambles irresponsibly with
children and schools using unproven change strategies
and radical "free market" approaches it should be called
Helter-Skelter."
