Legislatures from Connecticut to California are rebelling against No Child Left Behind. A new bipartisan report from the National Conference of State Legislatures calls the federal education law "intrusive, flawed" and even "a weed" that's choking off innovation in local schools. We'll hear about the findings from the co-chairs of the task force that reviewed the No Child Left Behind Law. Steve Kelley is a Democratic state senator from Minnesota. Steve Saland is a Republican state senator from New York. Other guests are TBA.
