Mike may be right about the many ways Karl Rove gets it wrong, but he avoids the really important question: is Rove correct in his main (education) point, that "Mr. Bush was right to pass No Child Left Behind"? I say yes - it's better that we have NCLB than a continuation of the ESEA circa 2000. NCLB, for all its flaws, has helped cement in place a culture of high expectations and accountability (even if sloppily done), something we should be grateful for - and something Bush got right.
