Actually, No Child Left Behind was not a liberal idea, but the brainchild of dumbya himself.
But back to the topic at hand, I completely agree with you that it is complete BS how the competitiveness is being taken out of sports so that kids can feel good about themselves. Kids can't play dodgeball anymore because they might get hurt or the fat kid might get picked on. Kids can't pick teams on the playground anymore because the kid who gets picked last will have bad self esteem. You get a trophy when your team finishes in eighth place in an eight team tournament. I don't know what happened to the notion that if you get your butt kicked or picked last, you just practice harder and try to get better. I guess that is just too much work.
