A funny thing happened when the Bush Administration's "No Child Left Behind" Act took effect: almost everyone was left behind. Yet for a vast majority of young folks of color, the bill merely codified problems already endemic in public schools -- lack of resources, lowered expectations, and a system set up for failure.
