In 2008, President Obama campaigned as a man that would reign in on Wall Street, and stop corporate corruption in Washington. Many Obama supporters saw him as a symbol of change, hope, and progressive values. He was then elected with the hope that he would discontinue the policies the Bush administration put in place concerning warrantless wiretapping, the indefinite detention of prisoners, the end to Guantanamo Bay Prison, and tax cuts to the richest Americans.
Armed with only a flashlight, camera, butterfly net, and baby (for some reason they are better at seeing ghosts) I trekked out to the Santa Rosa Rural Cemetery at night in hope of finding a ghost, ghoul, troll, or even a person with a sheet over their head. Not surprisingly I found something that every so called "ghost investigator" finds... absolutely nothing of scientific interest.
The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), once lauded as one of the biggest overhauls of the public educational system in America, is now being scrutinized by the Obama administration. They want the act reformed.
Supporters claim that it puts more accountability on failing schools, and detractors claim that it sets unrealistic goals for both students and teachers.
