Many of the controversial parts of the bill--portions which advocate Department of Education control over Head Start, child nutrition and American Indian education programs, for example--were eliminated from this year's version. Alfred Sumberg, executive director of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) says the legislation is "not watered down, but realistic in terms of what's possible."
