The Children's Defense Fund used the logo "Leave No Child Behind."

The Bush administration took it over, but altered it, and I believe it is no accident that it was transformed into "Left Behind." The series sold 50 million books.

Journalists have noted the "code" Bush used to send messages to Christians who interpret the Bible literally. The choice of words would not register to Washington reporters, but supporters would hear them.

I can't imagine this group would not hear the "left behind" in this law. SO, what would that code signify to them? That Bush was eager to promote a Christian agenda, prayer, or at least vouchers so the public would subsidize religious schools? It seems likely. Can we judge from the way the law was designed? Well, the law seems to have been constructed in such a way that almost any non-elite school would fail in at least one category, which is sufficient for the school to be judged overall as "failing." all the parents would then be informed that their school is failing. That could be used as leverage against democrats and teacher unions to advance an anti-public school agenda.
