Personally I dont think its no child left behind while it definitely does have its faults, its the whole thing about equal opportunity. These people protesting that (while I am trying to avoid going there it is hard), they are not getting financial aid as foreign students or being illegal immigrants. The biggest fault I put on is Affirmative Action that is still being practiced 40 years after the desegregation and the DREAM Act which I think is absolute ludicrous. This past year, (avoiding politics but just an example), Obama had given a Nigerian immigrated student US citizenship after he was initially accepted to Ohio State Medical School but later acceptance was revoked after it was discovered he was not a US citizen. On the medical school application system one of the first things that it asks is are you a US citizen.
But like I mentioned before schools give special treatment to these under represented minorities. As sad as it is, if you are of African American or Latino descent, that is the golden ticket into getting in any school. John Hopkins medical, one of the most prestigious medical schools, has been known to let in those of the under represented minority whose academics are well below the Asian and Caucasian descent same goes with Harvard and Yale law. All schools do it, its just a shame when these groups protest that they don't get fair treatment. If anything its unequal treatment keeping children out that deserve it just because of the color of their skin.
