Ted Kennedy buried, most influential liberal of our time?:
"It was onto that final point that Senator Ted Kennedy held the strongest. Ted Kennedy’s actions as a senator championed a long list of causes to not only give all citizens equal rights, but also to give them equal access to services and a helping hand when nobody else would.
He proposed Head Start in 1964, to provide comprehensive education, health, nutrition, and parent involvement services to low-income children and their families.
He strongly supported Title IX, 'No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.'
He fought for the Family and Medical Leave Act, allowing an employee to take job-protected unpaid leave due to a serious health condition that makes the employee unable to perform his or her job, to care for a sick family member, or to care for a new child (including by birth, adoption or foster care).
Though proposed by Republican President George W. Bush immediately after he took office, Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy believed in its principal and led the fight as a sponsor of the No Child Left Behind Act which was a form of standards-based education reform in hopes of improving education in this country."
