Answer: Because Fox News doesn't do enough education stories.

Question: Why would anyone continue reading syndicated columnist Ruben Naverette after he wrote the idiotic sentence below?

As someone who is obviously committed to the law and to preserving its intent, Spellings isn't afraid to square off against powerful opponents of NCLB such as Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., chairman of the House Committee on Education and Labor.

Hat tip to Sherman Dorn, who notes that Naverette uses the bankrupt "kids vs. adults" trope.

UPDATE:  It looks as if Eduwonk's Andy Rotherham and I, who disagree on many things, read Sherman Dorn's post, clicked on the link, and did spit-takes on the same Ruben Naverette claim.  And Andy got there a few hours before I did.  No rip-offs here, I swear, but I clearly have to check that Eduwonk RSS feed before lunch.
