Abstract
There have been many critiques of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLBA), but absent from them have been the effects this US law has on black and Latino students. Black and Latino students who attend such schools are more likely to be the affected by lower rates of per-pupil expenditure, less experienced or less qualified teachers, and less challenging curricula. Paul believes that despite with this reality, teachers and teacher educators have a responsibility to resist socially unjust education policy like the NCLBA and to make the public aware of the threats it poses.
