Federalists or Not




Tuesday, September 9, 200

Obama says he is going to fix the "No Child Left Behind Act". He said that if he is elected President, he will provide parents with more schools to which they can "send their children and design merit-based pay plans for teachers, a program reviled by unions but supported by Republican and some Democratic lawmakers."

The class connection is that we studied the Federalist and Anti-Federalists and the "No Child Left Behind Act" has alot to do with that. So by Obama being elected president and making change to this act, wouldn't the government be strong in this case and be taking over a problem? Wouldn't Obama be supporting the Federalists?

I think it would. The Federalists were a group of people who believed in a strong government. I think strong governments take charge in certain situations if there is a problem, or something needs to be changed. In this case its only for the better.
