Obama chooses the unions over school students

Barack Obama has always been a tool of the unions, from the SEIU to the AFL-CIO. His latest union cave came today when he decided to redesign the No Child Left Behind Act at the behest of the teachers' unions.
For years, teachers' unions have been complaining that NCLB tests schools and gives them a pass/fail grade based on teacher performance. (Heaven forbid.) Today, Obama announced that requirement will vanish as the president tries to broadly change America's education system. Instead, Obama is shilling out taxpayer money in the form of grants to whatever schools he chooses. In other words, spending, not standards.
