That was on the updates and rewrites of the bill when it was up for renewal in March of 2007, the biggest changes to the bill were to make it more aware in policy of special needs students. You posted that “the writer” out of context.

Please, your links are weak and failing in historical context in backing this idea of “brainchild”. Our family was involved in the lawsuit against the bill due to the special needs portion of the bill. My dept of history on NCLB does not match up to Kennedy being the “brainchild” historically.

In the fall of 2006, she left McKinsey and went to work for Avenue Capital Group, a hedge fund run by Marc Lasry, a donor to Democratic causes and supporter of the Clintons

What do you think the Avenue Capitol Group is?:

The firm operates as both a private equity firm and as a hedge fund. Avenue’s core strategy is focused on distressed debt and equity securities although the firm also manages investment funds that focus on long-short opportunities, real estate, and collateralized debt obligations.

She has since left to go back to grad school, presumably because working for a hedge fund that helped pull down the middle class will be bad for her Democratic political ambitions.

Here ya be:

Ted Kennedy, the legislation’s initial sponsor, has stated: “The tragedy is that these long overdue reforms are finally in place, but the funds are not.”

The bill, shepherded through the Senate by Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.), one of the bill’s sponsors, received overwhelming bipartisan support in Congress.
