Company led by Bush's brother getting No Child Money

Technorati blog directory

A report says at least 13 school districts are using money from President Bush's 2001 No Child Left Behind law to buy products from a company run by his brother and partly owned by their parents. They call it COW and that stands for Cirriculum on Wheels. I call is C.O.W. Crap On Wheels. Or how about Trailer Park School TPS for short.

The report says Neil Bush's "Ignite! Learning" has products in 40 districts, sometimes through donations or grants from foundations and companies with political ties to the Bushes. And they even talk about something called "knowledge sabotage." Got to start the kids early. Every 5th sale should come with a free National ID card.

Neil Bush said in an e-mail to the Times that Ignite's program had demonstrated success in improving the test scores of economically disadvantaged children.

He said political influence had not played a role in Ignite's rapid growth. Right. Work starts at home first. Are they going to teach the family to speak-N-spell or just Talk-N-Read?

Neil Bush and his parents -- former President George Bush and his wife, Barbara, who live in Houston -- didn't immediately return calls to The Associated Press seeking comment. Such a surprise.
