Is Obama's curriculum breaking the rules?:
"Good news, but is it too little too late? As it turns out, President Obama is breaking the rules with his curriculum plans that most schools are set to launch on September 8th, 2009, the traditional first day of school.
According to Christina Erland Culver, who is the former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Education, said that the material accompanying the President’s address is not so good.
In an interview with Fox News, Culver stated, “That’s where they kind of got into a slippery spot. Federal statute denies any authority to the Department of Education to provide any kind of curriculum or anything that can be passed down to the state, and that’s part of the statute forming the Department of Education. So they kinda got themselves into this mess because they didn’t really understand some of the key legal roles ore the dos and don’ts at the Federal Department of Education.”"
