The National Education Association has 2.7 million members nationwide and is doing battle with the federal government in the courts over No Child Left behind. Reg Weaver, President of the NEA, says the government has recently moved to dismiss the NEA's lawsuit alleging that No Child Left Behind isn't fully funded and therefore is illegal.

[Reg Weaver 1] : "It's unfortunate that they chose to dismiss as opposed to doing what we think needs to be done. And that is to fix it and to fund it such that the kids will be able to have a better chance of being successful.
Weaver says the NEA is committed to quality public education and needs public support on the No Child Left Behind law.

[Weaver 2] : "The nation calls on us to support No Child Left Behind and I am calling on the nation to help elect policy-makers and politicians who will fund and fix this law the way it should be so kids will have a much better chance of being successful."
