...raising academic standards, holding schools accountable and fostering learning. But since the penalty for defying the law is loss of federal funds, most treat NCLB's prescriptives like bitter medicine they can't afford to spit out. All, that is, except the iconoclasts who run the public schools in Nebraska...
...else to explain the conspicuously public dinner in Washington last week between Bloomberg and Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel, the Vietnam veteran and G.O.P. apostate who has come out in full opposition to President Bush and the continuation of the Iraq War? Hagel has toyed with the idea of running for the G.O.P. nomination. But he's an outsider now within the Republican family; having attacked Bush, he'd be doomed in a G.O.P. primary.

...March 25, Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel lent a G.O.P. voice to an idea that is more often echoed in the tinnier chat rooms of the left-wing blogosphere: impeach President George W. Bush. Those who were surprised shouldn't have been. Hagel has been slowly knitting together the oddest platform of any potential presidential nominee: he's pro-life, pro-gun, antiwar and now, quite definitively, anti-Bush...
