"Even on education, his one accomplishment, the Leave No Child Behind Act, and he has left it unfunded"

- Sidney Blumenthal

About this Quote

This quote by Sidney Blumenthal is referring to the former President George W. Bush's lack of commitment to his own education policy. The Leave No Child Behind Act was one of the few achievements of the Bush administration, yet it was left unfunded. This absence of financing implied that the policy was not able to be appropriately implemented, and the goals of the policy were not fulfilled. This quote is slamming the Bush administration for not following through on their own policy, and for not offering the needed resources to ensure its success. It is a pointer that even when a policy is created, it should be correctly funded and supported in order to be effective.
