You continue YOUR  "delusional" ramblings by mind-numbingly repeating  that these few "civil rights" groups are in favor of NCLB, you asshole. La Raza is not the end-all, be-all of Hispanic representation. 
Try looking at the 140 organizations representing over 50 million people who are NOT in favor of NCLB, many of which also represent that community.

To quote a very wise man on this arn list, "You don't know shit, so just shut the fuck up".
