The New York Times' editorial page called for the replacement of U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige because of his "staggeringly stupid comment" in which he compared the National Education Association to a "terrorist organization." According to the newspaper, this is just the latest misstep by Mr. Paige who has been repeatedly criticized by Congress for failing to properly administer the No Child Left Behind act. Last year, Mr. Paige said he "preferred to have a child in Christian schools and suggested that Christians were morally superior to others." Instead of dealing with the critical issues raised by No Child Left Behind, Mr. Paige's Education Department has focused on things such as ensuring that school districts "permit the right amount of constitutionally protected prayer." No wonder federal education policy is in such disarray.
