FactCheck.org Cheney & Edwards Mangle Facts: "Cheney and Edwards both made misleading statements about each other's education records, specifically on the No Child Left Behind law. Cheney claimed 'they were for it; now they're against it.' But while Kerry has criticized the law as being underfunded and called for some changes he has not called for the law's repeal. Edwards claimed 'they said they were going to fund their No Child Left Behind; $27 billion short today.' In fact, overall federal funding for education grew 58% in Bush's first three years, though many governors and congressional Democrats say even more is required."The truth of the matter is that both parties have continued to neglect education in this counrty. Education is used as a political football by both Republicans and Democrats to the detriment of the country's children. - Barry
