Yep, "No Child Left Behind" was very late in that game. Just the other day someone posted about Scotland's version called "Getting it right for every child (GIRFEC)". Always coded in a way that they're attempting to help "every child" by somehow raising up the laggers and dummies, but what it really entails (like Common Core - which strips logical and common sense thinking from problem solving) is gimping white male academic performance so the other students don't look so bad in comparison. Changing teaching styles so white boys are a just as stymied, if not more so, than female or non-white students by arcane, backwards and counter-intuitive solutions (that must be followed and demonstrated in all tests - no using that problematic male brain of yours, sonny), pushing for rote learning of these new un-natural systems rather than using critical thought and actual problem solving skills. Of course, shit where females naturally shine like English, have been given free reign to draw out the wildest of meanings from any given body of text in the service of cultural critique and oppression narratives.
To understand the logic, just look at the history of the Qwerty vs Dvorak keyboard on typewriters. When the machines couldn't handle the speed of early contemporary typists, rather than improve the device itself, they gimped the typists by switching the most commonly used keys around to slow them down enough to match the tolerances of the typewriter. This is also how Macs kept their fake "performance" lead during the Mac vs PC wars too. They gimped the users into very strictly controlled behaviors (Jobs called this "End to End Control"), allowing a performance boost at the expense of real innovation, offset with marketing-based ego-stroking and design aesthetics to keep their customers loyal and invested in their consumer choice. While PCs, for all the evils of MS (and thanks to Compaq cleaning up their shitty early code), allowed users to dictate their own pace and usage of the devices with near-limitless customization. Getting computers into most businesses and homes with the first spreadsheet killer app. Getting computers into the hands of a new generation of kids. Thus giving us a generation or more of coders and engineers. Rather than dumb, happy, consumers mixed in with a small vocal army of fart-huffing design-fags.
The Modern (Marxist/Globalist) State wants a population of Mac users who respect and love the End To End Control paradigm and are obsessed with appearances above all else, not a population of disgusting PC nerds who like to pull things apart, see how they work, then try to improve and innovate and revolutionize (in it's real sense).

This has been going on a long time. I think it is why we are seeing our societies fall apart.
