The  Connecticut NAACP intervened on the side of the federal  government  in 
the Ct. Attorney General's suit against NCLB as an  unfunded mandate. One 
member of this list always circles back to the  assertion that  the Ct. NAACP 
intervention calls for the  implementation of the  "spirit and letter" of NCLB. 
...In summary, the  Ct. NAACP "Fact Sheet on Connecticut  v. Spellings" and the 
NAACP Legal  Defense Fund's "Joint Organizational Statement on No Child Left 
Behind  (NCLB)", cannot be used to support implementation of both the  "spirit 
and letter" of NCLB

One of the briefs submitted by the NAACP to the federal court  hearing the 
Connecticut case argues that states should enforce the "letter and  spriit" of 
NCLB.  The phrase "enforce the letter and spirit" are in  the brief.  I 
explained this before and more than once.
